Hey all,
I'm looking for a good motherboard for my new i7 4790 that is less than ~$90 preferably.
Ive been looking at the variety and I'm confused about all the different types of chipsets. What are the good motherboard options?

Please help and thank you!!!

For DDR3 RAM memory a Z97 motherboard would be your best shot, its one of the newest chipsets and nearly the best you can get for DDR3. Personally I like my MSI ATX DDR3 2400 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97 PC MATE. Its a very good and reliable everyday motherboard and Im running a very good graphics card and an i7-4790k off of it. However it would not be good for SLI.
For DDR4 memory there are no cheap options and you will likely not be able to find one that is sub $90.
Also, look at your case and see what form factors you can fit, then depending on what you are going to be using it for just browse on Amazon or other sites for motherboards that suit your purpose.
PS DDR3 motherboards g up to Z97 chipsets while DDR4 motherboards are...

PS DDR3 motherboards g up to Z97 chipsets while DDR4 motherboards are standardly labeled X99 chipsets.
Good luck
