There's absolutely no need for a z97 motherboard with a non-k processor, he can't overclock. Going with an h97 as Scremin34Egl said would be the best option.

Z97 is always a better choice bcoz. sooner or later he'd be O.C ing and there are much more options available with the z97 chipset.

He doesn't have a processor he can overclock, how can he overclock "later"?

Well, he can always change the processor. I fhe does not, let's say the Z97 provides more stability, multiple gpu's and much more than the H97 chipset and most of all ,the OP can afford a 4690. So, he can also afford a Z97 chipset motherboard.

I'd suggest going for an Asus H97-Plus, I'm still confident you won't benefit from a z97.

That would be also a nice choice. Let the OP decide.
