MSI Z97 Gaming 5/MSI Z97-G45 Gaming if you intend to do SLI, MSI Z97 Gaming 3 if you intend to Crossfire, MSI Z97 PC MATE if you do not intend to do anything crazy. If you intend to do crazy stuff with it and want to OC to its absolute limit then I recommend an Asus ROG board. Yes, I normally say they are overpriced but that's because most people don't push an OC to its limit.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

I like the Z97-G55 SLI from MSI, or the ASUS Z97-A or AR if you like the colour.

 

I also like the MSI Z97 Gaming 3/5 if red/black is your thing.
