Best mobo

Hello guys,

 

I am wondering what the best ATX LGA 1150 motherboard is which is arround €100, preferably black-red, for my new build. The mobo does not have to support SLI, but it does have to support USB 3.0.

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

 

Thanks!

It is too overkill for my build, I am not planning to overclock.

Looks good, does this board have any cons?

Haven't used it. Just threw your criteria into pcpartpicker. You can look at reviews for it. Its h97 which is the most recent none over clocking chip set. Asrock is a good company for LGA1150.

MSI/ASUS>Gigabyte>Asrock. They're all pretty good companies though. But MSI and Asus top the charts for lga1150.

ASUS Z97 Pro Gamer board is pretty good from the looks. Red/black colour scheme. SLI/USB 3.0 and more. Also just over £100. Not sure about the conversion to euros though.

Its around 140-170 euro in my country, what I cannot afford.

Ah sorry about that. You'd probably be better off with a MSI motherboard for the colour scheme and features.
