How to pick out a motherboard for I5-4690k?

[Strike7100]

I want to spend around 50-150 pounds on the MOBO but I do not know the difference between each one. Also I do not mind if it is a smaller MOBO or normal sized.

Where do you shop for parts? You want to look into Z97 motherboards for that CPU.

Amazon.co.uk, Scan.co.uk, anywhere in the UK really

What would be a good M-itx or mini itx option?

And all of these do the same job right?

Essentially, they are all very good boards, though they have some differences that you should look at to see if you need/prefer one over the other.

But as far as quality, overclocking, stability, and such, they will all get the job done nicely.

Yes, those three cases would do the same job.
