I'm guessing you are new at this. You need to pick a motherboard that is compatible with your CPU. You should always pick a CPU before you pick a motherboard. So, tell us what CPU you are interested in, whether or not you are interested in overclocking said CPU, and if you are interested in any special features.

OK, that "LGA 1155" is the important feature, it tells you what socket your CPU fits in. While your CPU is an "unlocked" version and thus can be overclocked, your smaller case means you will have a lot of difficulty installing a better CPU cooler. So, I'll assume you won't be overclocking.

This means you probably want the H77 chipset. Here's a list of such motherboards:

I will say this, the more reliable brands are Asrock, Asus, Intel, MSI, and Gigabyte. Anything else is going to be a gamble.
