The chipset you need to depends on what CPU you want, and how many graphics card you want, and how fast of ram you want.
The "higher" chipsets also have things like more SATA ports for more HDDs/ect, but normally you only need 1 or 2.
You have to explain everything you want out of the PC first.

Unless your budget is really bottom of the barrel Z97 is pretty cheap these days. Last I checked Asus Z97-E was $99. It's what I have and it's a great basic Z97 board.

Knowing exactly what CPU you want to go with and a ballpark budget would much more helpful though.

z97 also offers a lot of features people won't really use as well though, so it's still smarter to only spend maybe $40-60 on an h81 or h97 board.
