What is the best mobo in this category. The most important thing for me is the number of VRM phases.

Here's an ASRock board with 10 Power Phases: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157634&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

You'd need the MIR to get it in budget.

Also... out of curiosity, why are power phases so important to you? Are you seeking extreme OCing or something? Otherwise, it's not really a big deal for Intel 1151 processors.

I can't afford devices to make use of any other functionality (like M.2, USB 3.1 type-c etc), so I wanted to give a criteria that could be used to pick the motherboard.
