I'm building a PC for light video editing and gaming, here are some of the specs:
Intel Core i5-4460
HIS Radeon HD R9 270 ICEQ X2 2GB
Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Black PC12800 16GB (2X8GB)
Crucial SSD BX100 256GB
Seagate 1TB 7,200RPM

I have no clue when it comes to picking the right motherboard. I don't plan on having more than 1 GPU so I guess the cheapest one will do. However I prefer not to have bottleneck on mobo. Budget will be around $100 for mobo. Thanks for any help.

He can afford the ASRock H97 Pro4 quite easily. It's a great board under 100 dollars, better than the H97 Anniversary.

it's even on sale! :)

You'll want to go with the h97 chipset, since you don't have an unlocked chip. It is a micro ATX board, since you only need one pci-e, the micro atx are generally less expensive if you are looking to keep to a budget. Also, a motherboard won't ever bottleneck your set up, all you need to worry about is component compatibility and what features you want (like overclocking support etc.), so you'll be fine here.
