I think these two are great boards: ASRock Z87 Killer Motherboard and Asus Z87-A Motherboard

All 3 will perform similar to each other so, go with the one that best suits your aesthetics of the build.  

PC: Corsair C70 Arctic, FX 9370, Corsair H80i, Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3, Corsair Vengence 16gb, Palit JetStream GTX 970, OCZ Vertex 4 128gb and Western Digital Blue 1Tb + 500gb, Antec Gamer 520w

Peripherals: Logitech G19 and SteelSeries Sensei RAW

Toshiba L50-A: i7 4700mq, 8gb, 1TB HDD, GT 740M 2gb

Any one of those motherboards would be great. I personally am partial to ASUS because i like track record and performance of their products but the two AsRock are good as well. The Extreme4 is very aesthetically pleasing to me.

I would go with the Asus Z87-A because of AI Suite 3 which is a great software and have been using this board and have no problems with it currently (haven't overclocked the cpu though). JJ said in one of Tek Syndicate's videos that this board can achieve a 4.8Ghz overclock.
