I have a motherboard in there right now but since I won't be overclocking my cpu and I won't be using sli, I thought I might just replace that motherboard with a H97 board. I want something around $70-$80.

You could do that, but remember the motherboard is the 'heart' of your PC so decide if you really wanna cheap out.

how is the motherboard that i have chosen right now then? I am not overclocking which is why I've decided to go with a H97 motherboard.

Get a decent board. Don't buy a piece of junk for your nice new system. Pick one of these:

How come? What is the difference between the asus board and the gigabyte board?

Archaic59 · Mar 28, 2015

I've been building with Asus boards for many years and never had a failure. I consider them the best.

The "M" means micro-ATX...smaller board for smaller pc case. It may have a few less features since it has less room for things.
The AsRock H97M PRO4 is a fair board, less quality than the Asus, but ok to use if you like the price.

I'm writing this for anyone searching in 2016 and later on. Asus, Asrock and Gigabyte are all famous companies but I myself would recommend you get a Gigabyte board since it has dual-bios which means the board can fail twice rather then once. The pick you've chosen is great though.
