I'm building a budget pc with upgrade potential, im looking for a lga 1151 mobo thats around $115 max, there's some points to take in consideration like: mobo with no faulty parts, since i live in Honduras shipping stuff here is quite expensive and the returning the parts to the seller maybe complicated, im also looking for a mobo with decent aesthetics, im thinking on upgrading to an non oc i7 later on , Asus h170 pro gaming was one of the mobos on my list but i recently read people were having issues with sudden freezes and faulty parts so that scared me away from it.
please help me find a mobo that fits my needs, (if possible on US amazon) Thanks ^^

Update:
Got some extra budget and decided to go for an i5 6600 non k, so i was wondering if Asus h170 Pro Gaming is still a solid pick, or should or should i consider a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3 (i have read this mobo has some issues with ram units and rma is not an option for me) , my biggest concern is part quality, any other suggestion are well recieved, my mobo budget is around $125 usa dollars.

That would be an option - the DRAM issues are more than likely slow getting updates into the BIOS, most any DDR4 should be fine, but the CPU has to be able to carry the DRAM, say a 6600 (non K) it may not be able to carry many of the higher data rates of DRAM
The H170 Pro Gaming would be a good choice, will want to make sure you upgrade to the latest BIOS and get the latest mobo drivers as with any new mobo (that people seldom do, they just load the drivers from the driver disk which are almost always out of date and don't bother even checking the BIOS which also is almost always out of date
