I'm currently using an Asus H81M Plus MoBo and I'm looking to upgrade it soon but kinda stumped on which one to get. I don't want to spend a fortune on one but I'm looking around the £100 range.
My friend suggested a Z97 but again I dont know which is better to go for, example the Z97P or Z97K etc. I'll list my specs down below.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

CPU: i5 4690K
GPU: VTX3D R9 270X (possibly changing to the GTX 1070 if prices lower or even the RX 480 when more detail is released)
RAM: 2x Corsair XMS3 1600MHz 4GB (8GB total and very likely to upgrade to 16GB)
PSU: Corsair CX500M

Thanks guys

Any of those will do nicely, depending on your colour scheme.

No, Z97 is your only logical option.
