Not a bad board but in that price range I'd probably get a Gigabyte gaming 5

It gives you the options of using a K cpu and overclocking, and support SLI.

That motherboard is a great gaming board, however the price is high for H97. You can get a mainstream Z97 board (like bignastyid suggested) for the same to a little higher price.
However, if you have no plans to use SLI but still want the AI suite III and other goodies that only the high end Z97 boards have then go for it.

Yup, won't be overclocking at all. Had just purchased a i5-4590 on sale. Even down the road when I do upgrade the cpu to something higher like an i7-4970k or so, I still won't be overclocking at all. Also, only using single video card, won't be running SLI config.

I have been eyeing this one as well, and read some decent things regarding the board. For the price, was thinking of going with this and have the extra features of it if I did ever need it at all. I do see that Newegg offers the rebate on it, and for some reason SuperBizz mentions nothing of the rebate on the page, I'm guessing pcpartpicker hasn't updated on that.

I won't lie. I'm spoiled by my Asus Sabertooth board right now, even though it's the first 990fx model before the Revision 2.0 they did. I hate to give it up. Was debating the Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2, but want to see If I can get a better deal on it. I'm actually open to a couple of the Asus boards, but again, really want to spend under $150 on it. Not as open to spending as much cash as I did when I had built my current AMD build when the FX Zambezi first released.
I'm definitely open to Gigabyte and Asus for my board choice. I had used Gigabyte before back in the days on older builds and was always happy with them as well.
