So there are a lot of motherboards out there but which one of these would be the best for their price. There is a gigabyte Z97M-DS3H available fo 75$ the rest is around a 120$, these are: Z97X Gaming 3, Z97M-Plus, Z97-C, Z97-K,  Z97 Gaming 3 or a Z97-G43 Gaming. In list comparisson the z97x gaming 3 came out as the best.

I'm still deciding on a graphixcard. Got a g3258 for verry cheap just a 8gig stick of ram, if more needed i'll get that. and a 1TB harddrive combined with a 40 gig ssd for linux. I'll buy a good psu after i found a good graphixcard. My case supports from matx to eatx

Sounds like an Matx board would be fine then! :)

i'd buy the z97m-plus.

Isn't that a lower-end lan than the z97x gaming 3?

Since you're getting the G3258, I'm assuming you're planning on overclocking.  While all of these boards will overclock, I'd get one of the $120ish as they have better power delivery.  It'll make for a more stable system.  But if money is really tight the $75 one should be ok.

Corsair AX860i | CaseLabs SM8 | EK Supremacy | UT60 420 | ST30 360 | ST30 240

I can buy one of the more expensive ones but I was wondering if they where worth it, so they are I asume.

not sure why but a lot of the tech forum hates the Killer LAN and will prefer to use Intel LAN

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

the 1150 has 7.1+2 Channel HD Audio Codec with Content Protection

 

the 887 is just 7.1
