I am looking to build a Hackintosh to use as my home entertainment system. Planning on hooking it up to my TV and using it to watch movies, play games such as FIFA, and do video editing using iMovie. I want the Hackintosh to have the capability to play 4K movies and display three monitors. My current build list includes the following...

Motherboard | Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard | $74.99 @ Micro Center

Currently still deciding on a power supply and case. I am pretty much at my spending limit also. Any advice you guys have would be much appreciated!
Edit 1: Motherboard option 2 marked with '->'
Edit 2: Looking at getting a cheap Bluetooth/Wifi PCI-E that won't have a sleep/wake issue as well. Any suggestions?
