Motherboard help

[circusslaughter]

I have like $80 or less on my newegg card and I want a ATX board so what should I get? I have a i5 4670 haswell. There is Biostar, AsRock, MSI and Gigabyte in my price range. Which board is the best brand?

I am hoping to be able to transfer the board to my moms build after I get my AsRock one back, I am going to be getting here a i3 haswell CPU in March.

I like Gigabyte boards but my last build had an ASRock budget board... it worked very well. It's really a matter of personal preference... all else (feature set) being equal.

The gigabyte is $69.99 with rebate so I think that I will go with that one.

I have a ASRock and with all the problems I am having with my current one I am leaning towards not them. The gigabyte one looks nice.

What about Biostar?

Gigabyte has the most features so it seems like a solid winner to me.

What about Biostar?

Don't have any experience with either Biostar or MSI. I'm inclined to stay with Gigabyte as my primary mobo source.

generally speaking, Gigabyte makes the best boards, on par with Asus; Asus have *less than perfect* customer support, so Gb is the best choice. However, i wouldn't go with the cheapest Gb boards. I'd rather go with MSI, unless you can afford at least a Gigabyte Z87X. If you can make it to that price range, there is no discussion, Gb is best.
