You can broaden your search for used motherboards also. I'm not a fan of Huananzhi boards unless I need an old Xeon platform. The support is just poor.If you want a Z97 board just because of you need to boot with an NVME storage, then there is a workaround for that.
I have an Asus B85 Vanguard with i7 4770 that runs on a Samsung NVME storage. That board did not come with an M.2 slot. However, I bought a PCI-e to M.2 like this . Then did a BIOS patch using this as a rough guide. It worked though. Z97 boards originally only have X2 PCIe 2.0 lanes for their NVME storage. The PCI-E card enables you to use 4 PCI-E lanes.
