MSI H97 PC Mate -6900.

on-board Intel wifi is not possible on such a low budget instead buy a PCI wifi adapter.

1.the lower ranges motherboards will have VGA,DVI,HDMI ports since the lower ends assumes the user will use the integrated display of the processors.
2.Stay away from the D3H..the later revisions are crippled by GB by removal of parts.
3.Intel DH67CL supports older socket 1155? haswell is not supported.

u have to tradeoff between features and price and quality at this range. You cannot haves all three at once.
the H97 i suggested earlier has everything u wanted except the Intel Wifi.

i3-2120 is a sandy bridge 2nd gen processor not a haswell 4th gen.. you will need an H61/H67/B75 board to use that processor

any other asus product like B85M-G
Since u have an intel second gen processor u cannot use B85/H97 motherboard..the sockets wont match.
I would suggest an upgrade.

something like an i5 4440+H97 Plus maybe? u will get all that you want expect the wifi and it will last you for 3 more years.

Yes, Intel official website doesnt mention it but it will support 2nd Gen processors

Taking advantage of that added PCIe functionality requires a motherboard design change from previous Sandybridge-supporting motherboards, yet backwards and forwards component compatibility for both Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge platform products including CPUs and chipsets is possible with updated firmware for older Socket 1155 board products.
