ASUS Z97-PRO (non wifi) LGA 1150 Intel Z97 ATX motherboard – $ 164.99 + $ 0.99 shipping @Newegg [newegg.com] w/promo code EMCAPNR36

This board seems to be much harder to find than the (Wi-fi AC) version. It is identical, but omits the built in wireless which seems to be very hit or miss based on reviews. The money you’ll save buying this board can be used to buy a decent wireless card if needed.

It has pretty much all the bells and whistles including:

-intel networking
-ALC1150 audio
-Sata Express
-M.2
-Thunderbolt 2 ready
-12 phase board
-And a grip more…

Don’t hate, this board is loaded for the price.

Lastly check this video [youtube.com] if you want an in depth overview of the wifi version. This JJ guy knows his stuff.
