what's a good MOBO between 100-200, although preferably on the lower end, that is compatible with this video card?
 
Solution
Mobo makes absolutely no difference whatsoever performance wise.

Make sure you get the right socket (LGA 1150 in your case).
If you don't need to OC don't get a Z97 chipset (although you shouldn't have bought a K CPU in the first place.
Check whether the mobo has the desired spec (form fact, # RAM slots, memory speed, # USB 2.0 / 3.0 front panel and rear, # PCI slots, # SATA connexions, SLI or Crossfire capability) and get the cheapest possible from a trustworthy manufacturer (MSI, ASRock, Gigabyte, ...).

Without OC this one will give good performance: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-h81mp33
If you wanna OC this one will do the job: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-z97pro3
