I do not know which motherboard is better for gaming such as (Arma 3, DayZ, World of Warcraft, Planet Side 2, etc.
I'm buying a i7 4790k CPU and i want a good motherboard that can perform really good when it comes to gaming. Now i was thinking in the price range of $100 to $200
And the two motherboards i thought were good were the

Z77 boards use socket 1155, which will not fit an 1150 CPU. The nice thing about Intel boards in recent years is that very little is required of them and you don't have to pay much to get everything you need.

Everything you could ask for and it's cheap.

I agree this is a very good motherboard and it has pretty much everything if not more options that the motherboards that the OP posted.

As r00t explained, Z77 boards are LGA1155, your CPU is LGA1150 so the Z77 board is incompatible. Motherboard makes no difference to gaming performance. Any Z97 chipset motherboard will do just fine.
