Best 4790k mobo?

So in the near future I plan on upgrading my motherboard because at the moment, mine is a very entry level budget mobo, the Asus Z97-P. I need it to fit into a corsair 450d, so that can fit ATX, Micro ATX, E-ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards. If it were future proof, that would also be ideal, in case I ever want to upgrade to skylake or something, but maybe that is asking too much haha? I also have a Gainward GTX 970 4gb gpu, and maybe some ram upgrades could be suggested to get the best performance out of my components. I also quite like the red and black theme, although it is not essential.

 

Thanks, 

Peter.

All of those are good except the one tainted by Ubisoft.
