Hey I need help deciding on what motherboard for m-ATX my build. I have a budget of $250 maximum for the board and am trying to get the following features

 

WiFi
2x PCI 3 (16) slots

1150 socket

 

I have been considering a Gryphon Z87 (asus) then using a usb stick or pci card for wifi or the Maximus Gene VI (asus) and using its mpcie adaptor for WiFi. I am trying to put together a rig that would be good for games and general use, does anyone have any gigabyte or msi alternatives that may be better or equally as good motherboard.

I am a Brit living in Finland so at the moment I am looking at buying locally or from the UK to reduce delivery time and likelihood of parts being bashed to hell by the postal service. I am not entirely sure whether I am going to overclock the system but the option may be good.
