I am in the process of figuring a build out and I need some advice. What's the best budget LGA 1155 motherboard? I am trying to find a good one for under $100 but if there is something spectacular for a little more I'm all ears. I would really prefer that it has USB 3.0, PCI 3.0, and an HDMI port. Any help would be appreciated!
 
your asking for a lot. USB3 is fine, but PCIe 3.0 is useless. You will not see a bottleneck on PCIe 2.0 even with a 690.

Anyway, for the question, your going to have to find something in the H77 series probably. I have a H61DE/S3 that is fairly good to be as cheap as it is. But it don't have USB3.
 
For 110 bucks that ASRock I linked would be good, Z77 and all too, so it has USB 3.0 and PCI Express 3.0. I agree with Wolfe though, PCI Express 3.0 isn't really needed.
 
Okay cool, thanks for the help guys. I guess I don't need PCI 3.0 but I would really like USB 3.0 and HDMI. I'm just really skeptical about most motherboards because it seems like almost all of them have some really bad reviews. I just want to get something as tried and true as possible for as cheap as possible. I thought going with a name brand like ASUS or Gigabyte would be better, but it seems like they get a lot of bad reviews too.
 
Gigabyte and ASUS are great brands, take the reviews with a pinch of salt, it's only one person's experience.
