Hey there all, this is my first post and apologize in advance if this has already been covered (I couldn't find anything in my searches).

I'm looking to put together I new budget gaming pc and am having trouble with choosing a motherboard (to be used with an i5 7400)

I do not need overclocking or more than a single GPU, but will be using DDR4 Ram and would like good audio etc from a motherboard. I'll also be using an SSD.

I'm not on a super tight budget but do want something reliable and affordable for the price.

Any advice or suggestions?

Thanks,
Cyrus

(just in case someone advises you to purchase one of those because they maybe a few dollars cheaper) and you can not update the bios without a 6th gen skylake cpu and you will be back on tomshardware thinking you have broken something!
