Hey everyone!
Yes, it's one of those threads again, but I haven't found the exact answer for me, so please, indulge me.
I'm buying i5 4690 and looking for a decent motherboard for it. If it makes any difference, I'm currently sticking with GTX 660, but will probably switch to GTX 870 once it gets out (or whatever nVidia comes up with, that equals a x70 of the series).
What I want/don't need:
I think that's it. I hope you guys and girls can help me out.

What I want/don't need:
- I will mainly be playing games (I'll also do other stuff, but that won't bring the PC to the limit)
- I will not be overclocking (neither GPU, nor CPU)
- I will only use one CPU and only one GPU
- needs 4 DIMM slots
- I have a huge fan (Noctua NH-U12P, I think ... I know, I know - still, not gonna overclock!
), so the more space from CPU socket to DIMM and GPU slots the better
- I have a huge case, so it can be ATX card (would even prefer it if it means better heat flow)
- I have had good experience with MSI, Gigabyte and ASRock, so any of these should do - I'm also open to other suggestions if they are convincing enough
- obviously, I would like it to cost as little as possible, while still covering all of the above, so I don't really need a Z97 or Z87, but also not a H81 or B85M
I think that's it. I hope you guys and girls can help me out.
