Good Budget Motherboard

[Guest]

I am looking for a good Mini-ITX motherboard for my mini-gaming pc build. I decided to go Mini-ITX because I really don't need the extra features that an ATX motherboard provides. As long as it can get the job done, it works for me. These are the specs I need...
-I want something that will not bottleneck the rest of my build.
-I need it to last a few years.
-I will be doing SLIGHT overclocking with the i5k processor - nothing too extreme.
-It needs to have built in wifi that is decent.
-I want an all black look to fit in with my build. If possible, no other colors should be seen except for maybe gold.
-Needs to be compatible with my build.

So far these are the motherboards I am looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130696 | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157374 | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128615&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Also, I will be using the stock Intel CPU cooler, there needs to be some sort of room for that.

Should have mentioned, sorry. By budget I meant something that isn't that much more expensive than the Gigabyte mobo currently in the build. Something no more than $150.

Ignore everything I just said, I accidently was checking the compatibility of the motherboards you were looking at with the wrong build.

And by the way, the Gigabyte you wanted is not compatible. If I were you, I would go with this- http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz77nwifi as you requested, all black.

Why wouldn't it be compatible? It's Mini-ITX and supports 4th gen CPUs.

My vote goes to the Gigabyte personally. Im a fan of their motherboards, and my friend has the 787N and loves it.

Thanks for looking. I'm still a little bit unsure about the motherboard. I really like the Gigabyte motherboard the most. However the positioning of the fan sockets and i/o port sockets looks to be the opposite of where the case put the cables. What do you think?
