Best Intel motherboard for Intel Core i5-3450 processor

Guys one of my friend has shifted to US and he has given me his system for use. The problem with his system is that its board doesn’t work anymore. I don’t know what’s wrong with it, it has Intel Core i5-3450 processor and every other component is well working. My friend just told me to get a good Intel board for it and his system will work great. So just suggest me the best board I can get for Intel Core i5-3450 processor so that I can do a bit of gaming on it. I don’t have much idea about all these things so suggestion regarding this will be appreciated.

If you want to get a board for gaming than don’t go for intel. If you want to get a budget one than “BIOSTAR TZ77B LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS” or “ASRock H77M-ITX LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard” will be a better deal. I have ASRock in one of my home pc and it works great. I have been using it from 9 months and I haven’t faced a single issue because of it. You will get them under $100. In case you don’t mind spending more that let me know your budget so that I can present you better choices.

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard will be a better choice over the ones mentioned above. You just have to pay $110 for it. I haven’t used it by one of my friend does, I think it is one of the best budget board to handle Core i7 / i5 / i3 (LGA1155) CPU’s.

If budget is not your issue then check out below ones, these are some of the best boards I have came across:

• GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3V LGA 1155 Intel B75 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - AR$ 675 approximately
• GIGABYTE GA-H77M-D3H LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - AR$ 799 approximately
• ASUS P8H77-M/CSM LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - AR$ 859 approximately
• GIGABYTE GA-Z77-DS3H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - AR$ 890 approximately

Above ones are too costly for me, this is not my system and I will be using it for 1 year and so say until my friend returns, My budget is $200 and max to max I can spend $300 for a board for using it in some other system in future, so please suggest me accordingly.
