I've currently got an i5 4670k (LGA 1150 SOCKET) and i plan on purchasing a new motherboard, if you need anymore information please let me know, thanks.

* Also should i go with the i5 4670k or go with a 1155 Socket CPU?
Budget for the CPU + Motherboard is ~$500.

The i5-4670k is a great choice. The Haswell and Ivy Bridge are almost the same price right now. Unless you're going to do some extreme overclocking, I think getting the newest generation is a fine choice.

You can't go wrong with the ASUS Z87-Plus. Great board, a friend just bought one. The UEFI is very cool indeed on that board. I bought an Asrock Z87 Extreme4 myself because it has the same capabilities and it was much cheaper.
