I don't know which motherboard I should buy. Im going to buy an Intel Core i7 4771 and the motherboard has to fit inside a Bitfenix Prodigy (only place for an itx).

The buyers guide says I need to buy
GIGABYTE GA-Z87N-WIFI but I don't know if it is good (I'm not going to OC).

I'm going buy these parts:
INTEL CORE I7 4771
Kingston HyperX 8 GB DDR3
Corsair CX Series Modular CX500M
WESTERN DIGITAL Red 1TB WD10EFRX
Asus GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5

(This is my first time building a Hackintosh)

You could get the Prodigy-M microATX case and then the H87M-d3H which is a better board in
terms of inputs/outputs. If you won't be over clocking get an H87 instead of Z to save some.

The Bitfenix Phenom has more stable feet and looks good in the white version.

These just arrived at Newegg so you can wait for them to go on sale for a better price. List
retail now is 100 dollars but they always get discounted eventually.
 
Oh okay, thnx!

But why the
Bitfenix Prodigy M instead of the Bitfenix Prodigy?

I really like the design of the
Bitfenix Phenom because it is so small.

It gives the option to go with a micro-Atx board if you want or need that, can still
use a mini-itx as well in it.
 
Oh okay , but the H87M-d3H isnt a mini-itx right?

I'm searching for a motherboard that fit inside a bitfenix prodigy
