Looking to upgrade Sandy Bridge

[kuhnboy]

I've had an asus p8h61-m le/csm r2.0 for a while, have upgraded from 10.7 all the way to 10.10 (except I have no sleep with 10.10).

I would like to upgrade to a new micro atx board. I would like to find one that is as compatible as possible OOTB and has some of the latest technology. I'd also like to go straight to 10.11.

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Any of the mATX boards listed here http://www.tonymacx86.com/building-customac-buyers-guide-november-2015.html#Motherboards would be compatible.

I actually picked up:

Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz LGA 1150 Boxed Processor
Gigabyte GA-Z97MX-GAMING LGA1150 mATX
Crucial Ballistix Tactical 16GB DDR3-1600

For just about $469.

Installed a fresh copy of 10.11

Used kexts:
AtherosE2200Ethernet
VoodooHDA
AppleHDADisabler

Everything works so far except sleep.
