@Coseniath: Not much in the line of mini itx boards with onboard usb3.0 and wifi in either the h81 or h87 chipsets that showed any decent reviews. So decided for the h97 board, looked to be the most robust feature wise out of the similar priced boards. Ram ya you could switch it for the Mushkin blackline 8gb for less latency but nothing really better for cheaper. The PSU could be it's better gold certified brother but didn't want to hit the $700 mark and again not much choice in the sfx power supplies. Seems every prebuilt computer company wants to build smaller, seems a little harder to do for a average joe as their aren't many options for parts.
If you have a better suggestion for a board let us know. I
Sorry I thought you were the TC :P.
But since you asked about it, MSI has nice H81 mobos. A micro ATX made wonders here:
The Pentium G3258 Cheap Overclocking Experiment: Overclocking The Pentium G3258 Using B81 On A Budget.
MSI has a similar board for miniITX MSI H81I, which for $66 is great. Missing USB3.0 is a problem but this is a budget gaming build so this is not such a big problem.
And about RAM. The RAM you choose is 1600C11.
Here is a list of at least 1600 and C10 that they are lower than $89: Prices start from $69.98 up to $87.99.
