Z97 so you can get an unlocked i5 or i7 in the future. Though if you can get a higher wattage PSU, I recommend a GS or G2 series from EVGA. Don't get a crappy PSU though, it's important.

Somewhat similar thing as the guy above, you could also get a higher cpu in the future if you decide to. Intel stock cooler sucks for long term use, I recommend the cpu cooler.
