Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
What is your budget? Do you need wifi? What size motherboard, mATX I assume judging by the case?

Honestly, any which supports that CPU will be fine. Its a locked processor so its fitment, features, price, and aesthetics. I'd look for something H97 based.

You have a Haswell based CPU, which basically came out for a year only before being superceded.
Look for a Socket 1150 Motherboard, or ideally sell the CPU and buy a newer Motherboard and CPU (socket 1151 has been around for years)
