So I am building a streaming pc and will either be using a mini motherboard or a micro depending on the cost of the two different builds I am going through. I have built a Gaming PC before and had much success with it but the one thing I was never fully comfortable finding was the right motherboard and now for my streaming pc I am looking to spend a lot less money and am in need of help of which motherboard to get. The only ones I know anything about really are the Z87 and Z97 because I have a Z87 in my gaming rig and know the Z97 is updated and what not but they are a lot more expensive than others. So I need help.

Maybe at least give the cpu that you're going to use so people know what to look for?

You already have that one?
No intention for overclocking?

If you think you'll need hyper threading but not the igp could you go for this cpu,

when using the igp is this already good enough,

For a motherboard will any B85/H87/97 or Z87/97 board do if going for just one gpu,for sli/crossfire would a Z87/97 be the choice and the more expensive ones on top of that..You could check for compatibilty with the cpu,but normally these are supported.

if you want or are interested in the,at the moment,best audiochip could you look at something like this,

Have you considered the FX 8320/8350?

It is not possible to help with the information you have provided . Maybe if my psychic abilities werent playing up so badly Id know if you were building mini-ITX or m-ATX 'but they

Maybe you just need to man up and make your own decision?

I said above I am looking at 2 different builds to see which will be cheaper. And will be using either mini atx or micro. depending on the case and I do not understand what is good in a motherboard besides the outputs and usb's and ram and to make sure it can use my processor.

I do not know what Hyper Threading is or what IGP is so I do not know which will be better. And I was looking at the i7 4770k because it has integrated graphics so I would not need a graphics card because i am only going to use this build to stream off of my gaming pc or my ps4. the motherboards I am not sure I have really only looked at the Z97 but i will look into these ones you have put above. Thank you.

With hyper threading 4 real cores become 8 virtual ones.
The igp is the integrated graphics.;) The non "K"version of the 47XX has that too.

For a m-atx motherboard,
