Which Mobo?

[ClubGaming_]

I've been planning a new build. I've got pretty much everything down except a mobo. It's my first build so I don't really know which one to use. I have a White/ black theme with some blue. Also id like to stay around $1150 as far as a budget. Thanks!!!

 

My build so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nVjynQ

Or if you're looking for the money saving option but judging by the build I'd say its best to go with my first recommendation as this one lacks a few features, Gigabyte H-81m-h

Are you planning on upgrading the processor at all, if not since your using a locked chip a H97 board would be more budget friendly and meet your needs since you wouldn't need overclocking like on a z97.

got you an i7 instead (xeon 1231=i7 without the intel hd) and r9 390

h97 if you dont overclock.

Well i'm not going to ever buy a whole new build but rather buy new parts piece by piece for this build. So chances are I eventually will but probably not any time soon.
