If a single GPU motherboard is what you're looking for try the Gigabyte GA Z87X-D3H. This is a Socket LGA1150 Motherboard, as you specified.

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=...

It only carries one Graphics Card slot (so no SLI) but it is a robust, well-built, durable motherboard (difficult to damage during installation!) and it features a self-recovering BIOS, which reduces the risk of BIOS corruption and pesky BIOS reflashing.

I've been running one for 6 months now and am very pleased with it. It also features a higher-than-average number of USB Slots.

However, yes, as stated above, let us know your budget! There are some very nifty, cutting edge boards out there if you're willing to pay higher than average. The GA Z87X-D3H I would class as a 'mid-range' option.

I'm getting the i7 4790k not the 4690k. Also, I have a budget of up to $250. I don't really want to go in the $300 range.

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I have one GPU. I don't plan on doing SLI anytime soon so I will definitely take a look at this. Still, anyone else that has suggestions let me know.

One of the reviews says it has no true OC abilities. Which is a turn off as I plan to overclock the 4790k as much as possible. What do you think about this?

Correction about the GA Z87X-D3H... it is indeed SLI-capable with a second GPU in the PCIe x16 8-speed PCIe 3.0 slot. That's another nice feature about this MoBo - the PCIe x16 slots are 3.0 so it's futureproofed for newer Graphics Cards over the coming years.
