Ok, so I am getting an Intel i5 4460 for CPU, Corsair Spec 2.0 for case, and Zotac GeForce gtx 950 AMP! (GPU)(Runs hot!).

I am looking for a compatible motherboard with 3-4 fan slots, preferably normal ATX, and under $100.

Any suggestions help since I can't decide on one to save my life.
 

Since i am not overclocking can i go with the H97 anniversary since Z is usually attributed to overclocking. Specifically will there be any other disadvantages. Also i have not built my pc yet, but I am going to stick with my stock intel cooler since it will do and the reason i said my gpu runs hut is because it is already kinda like a suped up normal gtx 950 so its benchmarks are about 7-8 degrees higher normally
 


Absolutely go with the H97. The only advantage with the Z is overclocking. I should have thought ahead that when running a 4460, there is no overclocking. This is a really good price for an ASrock H97 Anniversary
 
All the motherboards you guys suggested are good but i have seen those before and these are reasons why I didn't decide to immediately get any of them. ASRock H97 and Z97 are said to have weak and faulty cpu pins that break easily. The MSI z97 is for overclocking and for some reason the H97 is even more expensive. I can't seem to find any motherboard that is perfect for this proccesor
 

I own two Asrocks, a Z87 and an H97 and I didn't have any problems with weak pins or flimsy board mateial with either one.. H97 has been running for about 15 months now in my son's computer.

I love MSI gpu's but not mobo's. Asus, Gigabyte, and ASrock are my go to mobo's, usually based on color scheme 😉
