Someone recommended to me that I buy the ASRock B150 Gaming K4 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard as it is high quality and will perform well for my build.

Here is my build if you need to see: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/spntnn

Is there a better motherboard you know of, or will that do just fine?

Thanks for the help!

If you don't plan on running 2 GPUs, you can get an ASUS B150-K for $50, and it'll be basically the same thing.
And drop the GTX 970 - that card is old news. The GTX 1060 is faster AND cheaper AND cooler-running.

I actually got the 970 half a year ago and am not upgrading that. So does the ASUS B150-K only have 1 gpu slot?

Ahh OK. Yes that board is extremely similar to the board you picked out, just with 1 GPU slot and half the price.

This is ddr3 which I don't want, and am not really interested in Micro Boards. You think the ASRock i linked is my best bet?
I also saw the ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB 950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Whats your thoughts

I would stick with your Intel build, hands down.
