I would get an MSI H81M P33. It'll suit all of your needs and I believe Tom'sHardware got it to 4.3 or 4.5 GHz. If not that then the z97. Keep in mind the H81M only sells for $45 too.

(I have not tested either of these boards, therefore I can not be sure neither will be faulty. I am only basing this on benchmarks.)

PC and Peripherals:

Intel Core i3 4150 @3.5GHz - ASRock H97M Anniversary - Kingston Fury HyperX Black 8GB DDR3 @1866MHz - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 G1 Gaming 2GB GDDR5 - EVGA 500W 80+ Certified - WD Caviar Blue 1TB - WD Caviar Blue 160GB - Lian Li PC-50 - Linux Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS - Acer P221w 21.5" 1680x1050 60Hz - Kingston Fury HyperX Clouds - Razer Deathadder 3.5G - CM Storm Quickfire Rapid w/ Cherry MX Blues

Noob question. Hoping for answers. Im going to be building a budget pc. Highly considering using the g3258 as my cpu, but i cant decide if I wanna get the MSI Z97 pc mate or the MSI G85 / Asus G85 pro gamer. What are the pros and cons?

This, all pros, no cons.

I've heard that the H81 boards would need a bios update before you can oc the g3258? Is that true?

Alright, I did some research on the bios thing. I've always been confused myself on how it works but I think it will need a bios update.
