Hi guys, I'm getting ready to build another PC (2nd one) and I don't know what motherboard is the best for me. CPU I picked out was the 4670k and I believe it uses the 1150. So I was wondering what's the best for $150 max?

EDIT: After thinking about it, I won't be overclocking the CPU so Either I do the 4460 or the 4590 which also means my best bet would be to get an H97 mobo

I'm running the Asus z97-a mobo with a 4690k that i got for $145 on newegg. It has great reviews and is definitely worthy of them, as I have had no problems thus far with it. Right now it's currently $142.

It's also my current top choice for the budget, though the Asus Z87 Gryphon is a great motherboard for the price (after stupid $50 rebate though... aargh). It's $90 after rebate and has a 5-Year Warranty. It's a solid board and supports the i5-4670K (same CPU I put in that motherboard for my dad).

The Z87 Gryphon also has a 5-Year Warranty so that's a bit of peace of mind. It's not ATX but most people don't need the slots. It doesn't have M.2 SSD either, but most people don't care about that.
