what chipset should i pick for this cpu? just askin?

for 4460 H81 or B85 is good enough.

Also motherboard don't affect performance, so even if you plan to upgrade CPU later don't spend too much, get the cheapest one with all the features you need. 

This is one of the cheapest Z97 MBOs and should be good enough for 99% of people http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz97mxgaming5

MSI gaming 3/5/7 are also great MBOs and they are also red :) compare their features and decide which one is best for you :)
