Motherboard died!

[brandonchasejackson]

Hello all,

 

I have an Asus Z97-a 3.1 motherboard (LGA 1150) that died. This seem as easy as just buying a new motherboard, however, LGA 1150's are way over priced now! I use my desktop for the occasional Go-Pro edits, Plex server, and general use. Does anybody have any recommendations? I've seen some cheap 1150's but I also don't want to "get what I pay for". I had multiple HDD/SSD's attached too (if that helps on the final verdict) Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks!
