My motherboard died today so I'm in need of advice on which board to pick. I don't really have much knowledge on motherboards so I thought I would ask.
My previous mobo was a Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3 ATX board, socket 1150.
Specs are:
MSI Geforce GTX 1070 8GB
Intel i5 4690 w/stock cooler
2x8gb 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance ram.
Corsair RM650x 650w.
I was looking at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-Z97X-Gaming-GT-LGA1150-Motherboard/dp/B00K9R2DRW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1514482426&sr=8-2&keywords=gigabyte+z97
as a replacement. Is it good enough?
Thanks for any help.

My only complaint about that board is lack of M.2 but really there are plenty of PCIe slots if you want to run one, would be easy to pop it in there.

It's a quite nice board. I'd buy it. It's good enough and there is less and less choice in 1150 boards every day.

I never use M.2 SSD's anyway so it's fine for me - 1150 boards are harder to find and I can't find any that were good enough and this seems to be it.
Thanks for the help.
