Hi all, I'm working on buying all the parts for my first build and I stumbled across this deal on Newegg today: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130779
It's a MSI Z97 PC Mate for $70. I really don't know much about motherboards. I know this is compatible with my parts, but I don't know how good of a deal this price is.
Here's my full build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/97jpzy

Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($69.99 @ Newegg)
