1TB Hard drive
Fractal Design r4
EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W 80+ Gold

I need help choosing a motherboard. I'm going to use this mostly for gaming and using internet. I will NOT overclock (I'm still buying the 4690k so don't question that please). I am looking for a budget motherboard (less than $90) that is good for the money. I prefer ATX but microATX is okay since it's a little cheaper. I am not sure if I should be getting the h87 or h97. And I don't plan on doing SLI.

Also, how is the build? Can I still play games coming out in 2016 on high settings?

Thank you so much
