I'm looking for a cheap LGA115 socket motherboard for a gaming computer build. I'll be using an i5-3350P cpu. I have no idea which builders are the best, so builders not on this list are accepted for discussion.

ASRock
Asus
Biostar
ECS
EVGA
Foxconn
Gigabyte
Intel
Jetway
MSI
Supermicro
Zotac

 
Most companies on your list build very good motherboards (and some not so good). You should determine what chipset you prefer (H77 would probably be fine) and then get the best motherboard for your budget. Please provide your requirements (how many memory slots, PCIe slots, etc.) and then we'll be able to suggest a few excellent motherboards and you'll make the final decision.

I need basically a motherboard exactly like the Asus P8Z77-V LK, but under $100, and possibly by a better producer. I don't really know about everything you're asking for (this is my first build), so I hope that comparing to this motherboard will help. I need one just like it because I had all of the parts chosen, but I'm trying to save some more money. For this specific build, I could be a little lenient and say I only need two slots for RAM, but I hoped I could get four in case I wanted to change them out for more RAM in the future.
 
Specifically what features of the Asus P8Z77-V LK do you need/want? Is one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot enough? Do you need SLI support? Since you can't overclcok your processor, you don't need a Z77 motherboard; an H77 should meet your requirements.

If SLI support is not required, the MSI ZH77A-G43 should meet your requirements.
