I want to buy a better motherboard but not spend more is there any better options for my build and also if i use my 4 pin fan connector on my mobo how do i change the fan speed? under bios? because under bios it only shows for cpu :L

Do you already have these parts? Also there's probably few options in the BIOS because that board was built for BitCoin mining.

Its basically letting people borrow your processing capabilities especially with GPU's and sometimes your CPU's. It usually consumes a lot of power but you let your computer work for you so that you can earn crypto-currency or online money that has its own value. Basically it just consumes power in exchange for online money that can only be used in certain places. Also i would recommend this mobo: 

MSI Z97-G55 SLI ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

 

Its a little more expensive however i would say that its worth it and it has a great life length as well as an easy bios to go through.

However if that is a little too expensive for you i would recommend a 

MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

But to be honest a mobo wont really change a whole lot of performance in your rig so IMO i would just say that you should choose a mobo that you like the color scheme on, has the features you need (idk maybe you wanna sli some day or something) and can handle your current equipment

[Justin Meyer]

But it wont make a huge difference if you choose something like a really cheap Asrock mobo vs an Asus Maximus 7 or something except for possibly the chipset, the color, the features, and obviously those mobo's are designed to handle a lot more hard knocking gear like i7 cpu's, 980 gpu's in sli, and 32 GB of ram and stuff. So really just choose a mobo you like
