MSI H97 Guard pro is a good choice

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

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

msi, asus, gigabyte, asrock are my 4 brands to go to depending on my budget.

 

h97, b85 for current hassy chips.

 

also if you're sure you won't sli don't buy those mobo that has a lot of pci-e slots if you can save a few bucks.

Live your life like a dream.

Assume he's using the latest mainstream socket (1150 in this case) and it usually works out :P

Let's instead try not to give the wrong advice.

he did say good motherboard.

 

I did opt some good socket. I can even say opt for FM2 socket or am3+.

 

just to give TS a general idea since right now nothing for amd is kinda decent on the am socket motherboard and only decent stuff right now is their am2+ or whatever is coming next.

Live your life like a dream.

An incompatible motherboard isn't good.

A specific motherboard recommendation isn't just giving a general idea either.

What features do you need on the motherboard?

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

@WoodenMarker, i dont need any OC'ing/SLI/CFX capabilities, just a standard motherboard. Just the basic ones, and one that can support DDR3-1600

what CPU are you using?

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible. 

Quote whom you're replying to, and set option to follow your topics. Or Else we can't see your reply.

That's pretty much every 1150 motherboard. If you don't need any special features, pretty much any lga 1150 board will do.

Advice isn't good just because it can be given.
