Thanks for the quick reply I really appreciate it! The motherboard I ordered along with my cpu had bent pins so I'm currently returning it and I'm looking for a new board atm. I'm going to be running a gtx 960 with the cpu. I do not plan on going SLI. I'm looking for something from amazon also that has prime, I'm really trying to use my free prime trial's 2 day shipping as much as possible before it runs out!

Check to see if this is eligible for prime 2 day, since its not amazon selling it it may not be: http://www.amazon.com/Asus-H97-PLUS-HDMI-SATA-Motherboards/dp/B00K2R6C9Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428045574&sr=8-1&keywords=h97

There arent many good boards on Amazon.
