This is the build so far.. feel free to suggest other options:

CPU: Intel core 4690 quad core LGA 1150 3.5Ghz

GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 970 4GB

Power supply: Cougar RS750 750w 60 plus

What motherboard would best suit this build. thanks! Edit: I would like to use DDR4

Well, you can't use DDR4 with that CPU, only the new skylake CPUs are compatible with DDR4. You'll either have to not go for DDR4 or switch CPU.

On the motherboard topic, is there any budget? Will you be overclocking? (i'm guessing not since you haven't chosen a "k" CPU) Are you thinking about SLI in the future?

I'd recommend the i5-6600 since it's the same price as the i5-4690 you chose and just as good, if not a bit better. As for the motherboard i'd recommend either the MSI H170A Gaming Pro or the MSI Z170A Gaming Pro. The largest difference between theese motherboards is that the Z170A can be overclocked and the H170A not, but since the CPU i suggested can't be overclocked it won't matter. There are other benefits with the Z170A but i'd recommend the H170A. Here is the list of differences between the two chipsets: http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2099-intel-chipset-comparison-z170-h170-h110.
