Core I5 4570 and chipsets

Hello!

I am planning on building my first PC

I am planning on using an I5 4570, a GTX 770 Phantom, 8GB of corsair vengence pro red, a 1TB barracuda, a Raijintek Ereboss, a 650W RM PSU all in a Define R4.

But what kind of motherboard to choose? I don't need a Z87 chipset since it's prety expensive and I won't overclock my CPU. I just want a black motherboard!

I don't plan on adding any drives except maybe a small SSD for the OS

 

Thank You

Like others have said, B85 is probably the chipset to go for, but there aren't really any black motherboards. Gigabyte has a few that are mainly black, but have a dark brown PCB.

Go for H87 ~ as good as Z87 without OC ability and 25-40% cheaper.

I am planing in the future to do a RAID 1 on hard drives. First I thought going with the AsRock H87 pro4: black and H87.

But I also hesitated going with the Asrock fatality B85 Killer or H87 Performance. What do you think about them?

I dont think B87 even exists :) You may think about B85 no? MSI has a H87 Gaming motherboard however.
