planning to make my own personal gaming PC and some usual stuffs like surfing the net, movie marathon, music and etc.....

It's way overpriced and motherboards don't impact performance. Buy an Asus Z97-AR and spend the money saved elsewhere in your build. One could even argue that the AR is overkill and overpriced for your needs. You can find a motherboard with similar features for around $100.

Well it's a bit expensive for what it is. There are things with similar aesthetics and features at a much lower price.
