There's no real way to classify a "good" motherboard. Features don't really say anything about it's quality, so really as long as it's from a good reliable company, you'll be fine.

Also, locked with a Z97?

how about the mobo you already picked in that link? it seems pretty good.

i would say that you won't need a Z97 mobo if you are not going to buy a K series CPU. maybe get a H97 instead?

Much better value for money in this build. You can OC locked Skylake chips. Currently the 970 is simply a bad buy for $300+ when compared to the performance of a R9-390, unless you are vehemently opposed to team Red, it's the better choice. *edit* I also snuck in an SSD, and it's still cheaper.
