your gona either have to get a new mobo, or get an amd FX 8350.
I highly suggest getting a new mobo and getting the 4790K as the 8350 is old, dead socket, and slower than the 4790K.

Anywhere from $80-200. I was looking at the Asus z9. It will be a gaming pc. My friend said my i7 4790k wouldn't fit on the mobo, though.

If you can go up to $200, the Asus Maximus VII Hero is the best choice. The Maximus VI is cheaper too, but you will have to do a bios update, which is easy with ROG board, you just plug in a USB flash drive with the bios on it, in the designated usb port.
But if you want to get something cheaper, I would suggest an Asrock z97 Extreme4 or MSI z97 Gaming 5.

I agree with Ytyoussef, Asrock z97 Extreme 4 or Asus Maximus VII Hero, Both Boards have excellent reviews, but obviously the Asus is much better
