TL-DR edition of my story is my GPU and Motherboard is probably busted. Even without GPU my Motherboard wont stay turned on. It turns on for some second and turns off. Now i want to know that which cheap motherboard can handle core i7 4790k without any problem. I will not do any overclocking but i want to reach the turbo frequency(4.4 ghz). As far as i understand H97 and Z97 boards will do fine. So far my choices are very limited due to my country. Here are some that i have gathered

1. GA-Z97x-Gaming 3 http://smart-bd.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=63&product_id=262&sort=p.price&order=DESC

2. Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI http://smart-bd.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=63&product_id=265&sort=p.price&order=DESC

3. Gigabyte GA-Z97M-D3H http://smart-bd.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=63&product_id=556&sort=p.price&order=DESC

4. GIGABYTE GA-H97-GAMING 3 http://smart-bd.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=63&product_id=259&sort=p.price&order=DESC

5. Asus H97-PRO https://globalbrand.com.bd/motherboard/Asus-H97-PRO-Motherboard

6. Asus Z97-PRO GAMER https://globalbrand.com.bd/motherboard/Asus-Z97-PRO-GAMER-Motherboard

Here 1 and 6 are high price range . Number 3, 4 and 5 are low price range. Number 2 is in the middle of these two groups.

I am totally disappointed at ASUS cause it was a fairly good and pricey motherboard. I am thinking to go to the Gigabyte route.

As this is sudden buy. If possible i would like to go absolute minimum here, I wont probably buy another GPU for another 6-8 months let alone doing sli. So i was thinking that If i buy that GA-Z97M-D3H or the GIGABYTE GA-H97-GAMING 3 will these be enough for the Core i7 4790k.

And please include any motherboard that you think is reliable and durable which is not included here i will take a look if it is available in m country.
