I need a budget MOBO that handle these specs and would be future proof, because i'll upgrade to i5 later.

CPU : i3 4130 4th gen.
GPU : MSI GTX 760 TwinFrozr Gaming 2 GB
Memory: 2x4G 1600 Hyper X blu

I was recommended an "MSI B85-G43 gaming" mobo by a friend, is it any good ?

What slots do you need? What colour scheme do you prefer ? How many fan connectors do you need ?

It an OK board, but if you want to overclock in the future, you'll have to get an Z97 (more future proof than Z87) board.

I'm not using more than one gpu if thats what you mean by slots, color scheme doesnt really matter and i would need like 4 fans connectors (n500 coolermaster case)

that motherboard is a great choice, though for a similar price this would be better;

ASRock Fatal1ty H87 Performance

The ASRock mobo is a bit more expensive than MSI where i live it wont fit in the budget.

Would the GIGABYTE GA-B85-HD3 Socket 1150 be better than the MSI?
I'm a bit hesitante with MSI MOBO since it doesnt have much user reviews

If you don't need a lot of slots and fan connectors, and don't mind a yellow colour scheme, the Asus H81M-A might be ideal for you. It's cheaper as it doesn't have a lot of stuff, but it should at least have USB 3.0 headers, 4-pin fan connectors, and PCIe 3.0

And Asus supposedly has high quality motherboards. They probably didn't leave out their lower end boards and had some standards of quality check or something
