Recommend me a Micro ATX 1150 board

[walwalka]

I'm picking up a 4670k for $150 bucks this week and I just need some help picking out a board. I'm not going to be over clocking at this point, and if I would I would buy a better board and a new case.

I would like to have Sata III, USB 3.0, 4 dimm slots and would like to keep it near or under $100.

Thanks!

hate to post a newegg link but it is a much better price than amazon this time.

Asus Gryphon. *with the disclaimer that I haven't tried this board (based on features, specs).

I would pick from either of the following two Z87 boards. Will give you the full experience with your "K" processor, and all fan headers are 4-pin PWM capable.

Nice choice, but well above the stated max price.

Closer to $100: Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H
(again, I don't own it. based on specs, features)

Thanks guys! I ended up with the gigabyte. Should work out nicely! It's replacing an FX-6350, I'm hoping there is a nice little boost in LoL. I believe the CPU is holding my frames down to 30-50 FPs range with medium-high settings, when I put my card in a friends machine we see 100-120 FPS on all high settings.

Which one...the H87 or the Z87?

That gigabyte board was a nice find, and even less expensive at amazon.com

And being Amazon, a preferred place to shop. I would have looked there, but browsing and linking stuff on my phone sucks. Thanks for posting it...support the [H]orde!

I kind of wish people would post model numbers along with the links because either you may not want to click on the link or on old links, the information won't be there anymore.

A bit irrelevant for this thread since OP already has the processor and needs a MoBo for it asap. Otherwise, I agree and I usually do.

I went with the Z87, I got it from amazon. It was a few bucks cheaper, from the looks of it. I beileve I should have it tonight. Which is perfect because I'm picking up the CPU tomorrow.
