You can't go wrong with an Asus z97 like this one:

EDIT: Make sure to go with an 1150 haswell processor instead like the 4440 it should cost about the same but take advantage of being a new platform that should be broadwell ready if you want to upgrade down the line.

DONT

This motherboard is not meant for your CPU, it won't fit in.

NO!

 

Get an ASUS P8Z77-V LX. It won't murder your CPU on contact. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131824&cm_re=ASUS_P8Z77-V-_-13-131-824-_-Product

That's 340$ in my country.....

 

Any other option?

Oh wow, that's expensive.

 

Your CPU will only work with motherboards that contain the LGA 1155 socket. What retailer will you be shopping from? In what country? How much would you like to spend, if you had to put a number on it?

Is enough for your system, your processor can't overclock, no reason to get a Z77 motherboard, and you won't win any speed spending more on a motherboard with a better chipset. 

 

This motherboard is perfectly fine for you.

Mystery is the source of all true science.

I would probably spend 800-850$.
