So I am a 1st time PC builder and my parts are here. 

BUT, I want to change my RAM to DDR4 from DDR3. That means I am going to have to get a new 't motherboard. I found two possible ones, but the flaw is I cannot find any reviews for them so I don't want to get a busted or bad one. The boards are: 

 

Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel H170 ATX DDR4 Motherboard GA-H170-Gaming 3 MSI Computer ATX DDR4 Motherboard H170 GAMING M3

 

If you can suggest one, make sure it is no more than $120 US//

 

THANKS

Stick with what you have. There's little to no reason to "upgrade" just because of the RAM, and you have a decent system anyway.
