I was in the mood to build a new computer, so I decided to build a Mini-ITX(my first) pc, using the NZXT Manta case. I was wondering what the best Mini-ITX motherboard under $150 for this build. (LGA 1151)

Depends what you're needing. Do you want to overclock? Do you want mPCIe ports? Do you want more than 4 SATA ports?

I have an Asrock Z97E-ITX/AC and really like it. Its been running my 4690K at 4.5 for over a year. Has plenty of SATA ports on it, all the ports I want on back, and has built in wireless (Which I currently do not use).

If I had one complaint, its the location of the SATA ports. The cables have to be routed up over the ram.

Looks like current prices are over 150 (I paid like 148 for mine on sale last year), but not by much.

EDIT: Oops, just noticed you want an LGA1151, not 1150. Looks like this is the current replacement for it. Same basic board, but is red and is 1151: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITXac/
