Hello, I need some advice at choosing a motherboard.

 

I am building my first rig. I already have a mid-tower case, 500W PSU and G. Skill Ripjaws 8 GB 1600 DDR3 memory. I'm planning to use an AMD FX6300 and a R9 270. I want some advice to buy a motherboard in the price range of 50-75 dlls that will work good with the other parts (not planning to overclock in the near future).

 

Some additional info: I'm gonna use this pc for casual gaming, and I don't mind playing at medium-high 1080p.

MSI z97 PC mate is the mobo for you, I have this too in my budget build and it's just good for the money.

He is planning an FX-6300, the Z97 PC MATE is for intel

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
