Stuck between these 3
Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5 or ASRock Fatal1ty H97 or MSI Z97 Gaming 5
if you have any other suggestions am looking to spend max 120
Specs are going to be
Intel Core i7 i7-4790K
EVGA SuperNOVA 750W
NZXT H440
Corsair Vengeance 8GB
 
Solution
you need a Z97 chipset ("K" cpu, so you will overclock. need Z97), so you are left with 1st and 3rd option.

Regarding the Gigabbyte, the Gaming 3 VS Gaming 5, the only different thing is the gold coated I/O ports, so go for the gaming 3.

So finally, choose between:
- Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3
- MSI Z97 Gaming 5


Since the Gigabyte has a better sound, i would go for the Gigabyte, but then again, maybe choose based on the aesthetics or lowest price.
