I prefer Asus mobo but I need the suitable lowest budget one for my CPU which is had Pentium i3-4160, GPU GTX 750 1GB & 2x 4GB DDR3 RAM... I think it should be LGA 1150 socket... Thanks

Motherboard: Asus H81M-E Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($57.00 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($48.98 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81M-H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($44.38 @ Newegg)

If I have low budget,I would go MSI H81M-P33.This board got many good review for tom's news.

Intel chipset B85 is better than H81 because supports max of 8 PCI-E lanes in contrast to H81 that supports only 6 lanes . Z97 has support of 8 lanes too .

i3 4160 released in Q3'14, which means its highly unlikely that MoBos would come updated to support that CPU, H81 or H87 that is. We know H97 starts at about $70, so either you should change the CPU to i3 4150 (no real world difference whatsoever b/w the CPUs) or get H97 MoBo which's sure to support it w/o updates. H81M-HDS is a good USB 3.0 MoBo but would definately need BIOS update, unless you're fine to wait for couple more months.

What about the B85 chipsets? Is there any good one for those BIOS update & USB 3.0 supports?

B85 is fine too, would need BIOS update as well.
