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.

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.
