Was using an ASUS H97 Pro with my 4670 but it broke so I'm looking for another board. 4 RAM slots would be nice but not required, DDR3 RAM compatibility, no overclocking or SLI. Budget is around $100. Was thinking about this one: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0AJ4679730. Price is $188 USD on Newegg but here in Japan I can buy it for $100 USD on Amazon. Any opinions would be helpful. Thank you.

Its an atx case, I see no reason at all to go with an matx board.
Tragesaur - I'd just buy the h97 plus you listed if it's a local buy.$100 isn't a bad price , its a decent board .
Cross shipping from the usa will inflate prices a lot once shipping & duty come into play.

Thank you. That board on Japanese Amazon is over $100 more expensive for whatever reason. Both Newegg and US Amazon has it listed for $134 so the H97 plus is still the cheapest so far. Will keep it in mind and watch the prices.

$188 seems high for a "budget board". There are many boards sub $150 that support ddr4, additional m2 slots and other features. just my .02, if I'm buying a new board I want ddr4.
 

What case are you putting all this in?

I have two working CPUs, an i5 3570k and an i5 4670 an 24GB of RAM. As much as I'd like to, can't really see myself upgrading either of those unless I absolutely had to.

Leaning that way. The boards SgtScream listed aren't bad price wise either but since I have the RAM I"d rather use 16GB as opposed to 8 and as you said my case will fit it fine. Any other opinions/questions are welcome. Tyvm for all replies so far ^_^
