Hi Guys,

 

Just wanted some thoughts on the Motherboard I should get for the following set up. I am also missing a case. I want to keep the costs of both of these as low as possible. ~ £50 per part.

 

Link to my set up so far below, not sure how to make them show up in the text box.

Not entirely tech savvy so I have no idea what case will fit the parts selected or what motherboard is compatible. 

 

I also have a BenQ XL2720Z 27inch Monitor if that makes a difference to what motherboard to use.

 

Thanks in advance.

Would this suffice ? Its more around my price mark. Or am I massively reducing quality by dropping this low?

Not sure what the differences are between H97 Boards and this B85 one?

I would go for the MSI H97 PC Mate. It's ATX while the one you mentioned is Micro ATX which doesn't look good in the case in my opinion.
