Which one of these motherboards should i choose and why, i will buy the i5-4690 (i do not want to overclock or sli/crossfire). I will mainly use it for gaming (for MMORPGs only (Blade and Soul, MapleStory, Black Desert online, Bless Online, Archeage, BattleField 4)) and of course FaceBook, youtube, wachting tv shows online. So here are my choices:

gigabye g1.sniper h6 (130$)

gygabyte ga-h97-d3h (115$)

gygabyte ga-h97-gaming 3 (120$)

asrock h97 anniversary (110$)

asrock h97 Pro4 (110$)

I will buy the motherboard during black friday/cyber monday.

Thank you !

Looking at the specs of the motherboards and their pictures , they have the same heatsinks , same audio chips . The Z97 Anniversary supports faster RAM - 1866+MHz . Get which is cheaper .

H97 Pro4 vs H97 Aniversary :
H97 Pro4 has better heatsinks

Z97 Pro4 vs H97 Pro4
Z97 Pro4 can use faster RAM than 1600MHz , support M.2_SSD , 6 power phase design , allows overclocking of unlocked CPUs

i just saw online that both price were very similar so the last question would be the z97 anniversary or the h97 pro4 (what would you suggest, because i wont overclock my cpu or sli/crossfire and you said that the h97 has better heatsinks compared the to anniversaries editions or was it just compared to the h97 anniversary. thank you

Get 212 EVO , if needed . Measure the temperature . Since your CPU is non K , it s not meant to be overclocked . Hence most probably the stock cooler would be enough . As soon as you find out you need a better CPU cooler , get 212 EVO , otherwise go on with the stock cooler.

for i5 4690 max Tj = 77 degree Celsius - core temperature
Tj=Tcase +5
