For a good basic system, light - medium gaming, look at the ASUS Z87M-PLUS. I just built one (installing drivers now) with an i7-4770K for $1060.91 (Newegg). If you want improved future proofing (multi-GPU's), consider full ATX version of ASUS Z87.

for the board id suggest looking at a gigabyte z87x-d3h. much higher quality than asus

as for the above build. you are making the biggest mistake ever by using a surveillance system hard drive. if one of those sectors fail, they will make no attempt to recover your data and you will be forever screwed. not to mention, they cost way more than what it should be

As you have a 4670K are you planning on overclocking? If so you should be looking at motherboards based on the Z87 chipset. The ASUS Z87 boards start around $130.00. Wheat other components will you be using and what will the primary use of the system be?
