I am going to build my own gaming pc very soon. i know i will be using an i5-7500 with a gtx 1060, but i have no idea what motherboard to buy. I have about 100 bucks to spend on a motherboard, so if anyone has some suggentions, that would be very nice!

If you're wanting to spend towards the top of your budget, then I'd recommend either the Asus ROG STRIX B250H Gaming. You can also go with the Gigabyte GA-B250-HD3, but the Asus has a little better of a sound chipset, and supports two M.2 drives. I also really like the Asus BIOS layout, right now - it's really doing it for me. Both are standard ATX-size boards, and will fill out your case nicely. They're both competing for near the same price point, but the Asus has a little bit more to offer.

If you're looking to go as low as possible, then the Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H would work just fine. It's a little smaller than the first two boards since it is micro-ATX, but it does feature 4 DIMMs for plenty of memory expansion. The only real drawback is that it only has 2 fan headers, so you'll need a couple Y splitters, or some Molex-to-3pin adapters.
