Hi all,

I'm looking for a decent mobo, in microATX form factor, to put into a Cooler Master N200, mobo must be for Intel Haswell plattform.

I will use the computer for studying Linux certifications (RHCSA/RHEL), and also for gaming in a 22" 1680x1050 screen (possibly multi-screen at near future).

I will install Windows 7 and some Linux distro (Fedora/OpenSUSE).

The most used program will be VMware Workstation with nested ESXi instalattions and/or KVM/XEN virtualization.

There is no need for overclocking, but preferably good storage options (RAID, JBOD, SATA-3).

Thanks in advance.

Then, my only two options are the Gigabyte GA-H87M-D3H and the GIGABYTE Z87M-D3H.

With a difference of 27€ (37USD)
Considering that I'm not going to do overclock, I think the H87 motherboard is a perfectly valid option and I could invest this money in better CPU or...

I have no interest in those brands, I am considering Gigabyte or Intel. (most stores have only Gigabyte, ASUS, Asrock, Intel, and MSI)

Thanks for the video, I'm watching it

Yep, if you're not gonna overclock, the motherboard doesn't matter to much performance wise.

I would save some on the motherboard and make sure you get a i7 4770
