Going to be buying a Z97 Board for my G3258.

Here are my options-

MSI Z97 PC Mate

Gigabyte Z97M-DS3H

ASRock Z97M-Pro4

If there are any other boards that are around $80-$90 suggest them.

Also my case only supports 2.0 front panel usb so can anyone tell me a way around that. 

                                 

                                                                                    thanks...

Edit. going to get 4690k.

I would say PC MATE since it has the best on board options and many people aren't fans of Gigabyte and Asrock bios
