So for your budget of $120, I found a one that might be able to help.
You have an overclockable processor, so I picked one that could overclock and support DDR3 ram.
In my opinion, I think you should get the Asus Z97-K
Alright so this first board and this second one are basically the same board, the only thing I can see as a difference, because amazon sucks for listing specs, is that the second board has two 3.1 usb ports.
Other than that I don't see a single difference, maybe I'm blind though. The i/o ports are the same except for the 3.1 usb ports on the second board. All PCI slots look to be the same as well, both have one m.2 socket.
I wouldn't even consider the third board when you've got that second one, I don't see anything wrong with it.
Only thing that might deter you from the second board is that its not in stock until April 5th.
Hmm only 4 I would have to let go one drive. This one would work too right? I guess that's about as good as I can get.
