Z97 chipset.

 

I have a strong bias toward Asus motherboards, so someone else should recommend a motherboard.

I used to buy everything Asus, but got a bit tired of their high prices - I still run an Asus GFX card and mobo in my other, older PC (Core 2 Duo E8500).

 

I'd suggest taking a look at MSI.

 

The Z97 Gaming series (Gaming 3, 5, 7 & 9) is their mid-tier motherboards, while the Z97 MPower boards are more expensive and made for overclocking.  Not overclocking a 4790K is a sin btw ;)

 

For a GTX 970 I'd also suggest MSI, the GTX 970 Gaming 4G comes to mind.
