Motherboard choosing question.

What kind of lower cost motherboard would do for somewhat a beast gaming PC? Probably will get highest end i5 or higher end i7 CPU and GTX 970. Would be great if the product is circling around in Europe, too.
One what I found is GA-Z97-HD3 , which costs about 95€ here...

ASUS Z97-A is an excellent choice. Also, go for i5, not i7.

I'd of course go for that, but it's bit over 150€ here, which for me is a bit too much for a motherboard.

Then check out ASRock's Z97-PRO4.

A tad cheaper than the one I said in the original post.
