I've recently built a pc and I want to choose the right and a good motherboard for around $100. I would also like feedback in what I should change (for example if I need a fan and what HDD is better than the current one). This is my first pc and I just need help.

Here is the pc (so far): http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3FJvu

Please help and try to keep the budget below $900 (also make as much changes as you want and post the link to your better pc. Thanks for the help!

Personally I would go for the 4670k and a chep Z87 board the the MSI G45 one or the gigabyte Z87x-d3h or whatever the cheap one is. Even if you don't want to overclock right now it keep options open for the future (even if you wanted to slow it down to turn it in to a silent HTPC box in a few years you can just crank the multiplier down, for example).

You aren't going to be using much power, so you might be able to save 20 bucks or so getting a cheaper 500 watt supply, but that one you picked is a great choice.

Edit: or the one cball1311 linked, that would work too.
