What mother board would you recommend to use with the asus Radeon R7 260X? First build

This is what I was thinking but I was wondering if there would be a better mother board for around the same price.

Asrock is a great company (Asus is the only company I'd put in front of them), and that is a solid motherboard. Looks like a really nice build you have there.

What games are you wanting to play, and at what resolution? That graphics card may hold you back a bit on today's more graphically demanding games like BF4 for example. By hold back, I simply mean you wouldn't be playing BF4 at ultra settings.

I'm not looking to play at ultra settings just yet this is just my first build. I plan to upgrade parts later on when I have have the money. Thanx for the feed back.
