If your going for the best the Maximus Formula VII gets a string reccomendation from me. I personally have one and I love it.

4790k @ 4.6 (1.25 adaptive) // 2x GTX 970 stock clocks/voltage // Dominator Platnium 4x4 16G //Maximus Formula VII // WD Black1TB + 128GB 850 PRO // RM1000 // NZXT H440 // Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 (MX Blue) // Corsair M95 + Steelseries QCK // Razer Adaro DJ // AOC I2757FH

united states budget doesnt matter too much something practical maybe less than 250 and color scheme doesnt matter to me.

You really don't need that much for a mobo. I just bought a MSI Gaming 5, haven't used it yet, but it seems really good.

Watch Linus's videos reviewing the Z97 MOBO's (NOT the budget video). They are mostly Asus boards like the Maximus VII.

maximus formula VII is damn good but very expensive and perhaps a little overkill for an i5.

i have done my first non business build with an msi board and they are quite easy to use.

i have worked with both the msi gaming 3 and 5 and i would recommend them. if you plan to sli go for the gaming 5 otherwise go for gaming 3 to save some money

Desktop Build Log http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/486571-custom-wooden-case-with-lighting/#entry6529892

thinkpad l450, i5-5200u, 8gb ram, 1080p ips, 250gb samsung ssd, fingerprint reader, 72wh battery <3, mx master, motorola lapdock as secound screen

Please quote if you want me to respond and marking as solved is always appreciated.
