what happened to the last one?

If you want to go really cheap I'd look at this topic.

Newest bioses don't support overclocking anymore though. flashing an old one might be difficult with some manufacturers. And old bioses is sometimes not a good combo with win10, although it seems to work fine on my machine.

If you don't want to mess around I'd get one of the cheapest z97 boards or something.

I picked up http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4867#ov with the G3258.

Only problem is I had to use a spare PCI-E extender cable to put my audio card in because the hd7850 I have can't draw much air if my sound card is in the bottom slot. If it's just the video card and you run the audio off the MB or USB, it's fine.

Stock heatsink/fan is relatively decent. I run mine @ 4.3 without much worry in an old Centurion mid-atx case.
Two DDR3 slots, so you can use a pair of 4's, I'm running a pair of eight's because.. reasons.
