Any budget atx or micro atx motherboards for my cpu?

In my last post i said i was looking for a nice gaming cpu that was very good for my budget and i decided to go for the Intel G4400.

The only things i need for my budget build is a motherboard and some ram.

 

The price for the motherboard cant be over $70 and has to have at least 1 pcie slot since i find it a bit difficult at least for me to find a nice looking board that doesnt have a single slot for it (If there is built in WiFi then that would be very nice for me).

 

Ram is another item that i sometimes have trouble looking for that is in a capacity of 8 GB and is reliable for my needs.

All of these components will be housed inside a Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 Mid Tower Gaming Case.

Are there any other features that you specifically need?

i've personaly had good luck with gigabyte boards but, most will do just fine as manufacturers have been at it a long time.

just make sure you have the features you really need, or if you want ddr4 or ddr3, and are you really going to use all 8 million sata ports ect. 

with ram get something you like as most if not all have a lifetime warranty.

I actually find it difficult to get an ATX motherboard for s1150 with PCI slots (maximum compatibility with my old add-on cards). And yet s1151 has motherboards with PCI slots. *sigh*

The main thing for me, is that my old soundcard is based around the Yamaha XG chip, and its sound quality to this day hasn't been surpassed by any motherboards onboard audio (plus it has the standard L+R A/V connectors). And I just tried PC parts picker, and within a few minutes just solved the problem that's annoyed me for over a year :$. And its Z97+ATX as well.

That msi board looks like a pretty good choice for me since its within my budget and doesn't have fancy features like 2 pcie x16 slots but since this has pcie x1 that means i will have to throw in a couple extra dollars to find a pcie x1 card for wifi or if there is a great usb wifi dongle that you can recommend to me that will be great.

You can find on eBay USB wireless cards that can do 150 mbps ( 72 mbps in each direction). I personally bought and use this one on an old laptop that only had miniPCI slots inside (so basically useless, had to go with usb) :  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COMFAST-Mini-USB-Wireless-WiFi-Adapter-Network-LAN-Card-802-11n-g-b-Fr-PC-Laptop-/151849628907?hash=item235af174eb:g:aKcAAOSwI-BWH3aE

edit: actually these are also on Newegg, and you don't have to order them from China and wait weeks for them, they're just a bit more expensive, here's just two examples :  this  or this .

 

If you want internal network cards, there's a 9$ card on Newegg now that's pretty much the same thing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166047&ignorebbr=1

 

If you want something on the .ac standard ( to run on 5ghz) , yeah, that costs a bit more. For less than $20 you can get a usb dongle that will give you up to 433 mbps on the .ac standard : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704275&ignorebbr=1

If you want more, this $35 card can do up to 1200 mbps and it can also be removed from the card and inserted into a mini pci express slot , if you buy a motherboard that has one : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320293&ignorebbr=1

I'm only suggesting products sold directly by newegg, so maybe there are cheaper models sold by other companies through newegg but i wouldn't know how much they'd charge you for shipping or how reliable they are.

I never recommend getting H110 if it can be avoided because of the chipset's "budget cuts" (less USB ports, less security features, less DIMM slots, meh onboard audio, poor build quality [ I have yet to confirm this but I did come across people that say boards like these cheap out on a lot of parts ] etc.) that is why I chose to pick out some B150 boards for you. 

Awesome! The asrock board looks like a very good choice for me especially at $60. Has all the stuff i need and I dont have to worry about any internal network cards now since i ordered a usb dongle. The only thing left is memory. Any suggestions? Thank you :)
