Asus ROG series(you can choose the model according your specs).

"Gaming" motherboard? Meaningless; the cheapest motherboard will allow you to play games. For the sake of quality, I would choose a board from Asus, ASRock, or Gigabyte.
OTOH, if you are interested in overclocking, and/or multiple graphics cards for Crossfire or SLI, then look for boards with a Z77 chipset, and more than one PCIe 3.0 slot.
