I got an i5-4460 at a very discounted price from a local shop, to go in my build. I knew the current build has an 1155 socket in it, and now I'm in the market for a motherboard. I'm not looking for anything fancy or expensive, I just need it to make this work at the moment.

Here's the build:

Do you have a certain budget in mind? If not how about a microATX motherboard with the H97 chipset? The following is a solid motherboard:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Motherboard: ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($84.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $84.98
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

The motherboard will be compatible with your i5 and forward compatible with Intel's to-be-released 5th generation (Broadwell) processor too.

All the best.

The 4460 is 1150 socket so might look at the Asus H97-Plus

I appreciate both answers, Obnoxious that fit perfectly into my budget at the start of the idea. It (somehow.. :D ) has expanded as I looked around and I'm gonna go with the H97-Plus. Thanks both of you.
