I am looking at building a computer but I'm not sure what motherboard to get. I want a z87 chipset, my other components are gtx 770, i7 4770k. I would like the motherboard to last a few years.

This is a very good board within that budget:

This board has some less features but its also quite good:

A word of advice:
For that budget you can get very high end boards like ASUS maximus VI formula - Link or Gigabyte sniper - Link but expensive board doesn't contribute much to performance. The performance difference between the cheapest Z87 board and the most expensive one is less than 5%. So, its better you don't spend a lot of money on them and buy some other good parts instead, like a better GPU.

Both the boards I mentioned are very good boards. If you want better audio...
