Mobo recomendations for i7-4790K + single GPU?

[ccjmk]

Hello! I've been building my pc slowing on the last couple months, this is my current components:

CPU: Intel i7-4790K
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X 8gb 1866MHz DDR3
GPU: XFX R9 280x DD
PSU: XFX ProSeries 750w XXX Edition

I have SATA dvd drive & HDD from my previous PC, and will add a SSD whenever the budget allows so.

I can't set up on a good Z97 mobo; I really value quality and would pay the extra buck for a higher quality mobo, so long as the difference is not prohibitive. Still, I know that most higher-tire mobos are designed with SLI/Crossfire in mind, something I'm not planning to do, so I just want to avoid the really expensive, super-premium multi-GPU OC oriented mobos unless otherwise impossible. At most, I'd do some humble OC when the system starts to get older. So i'm interested on high-quality mobos with good components and power management. I'm not particularly interested in multiple ethernet or other premiums of the like, though I could use higher rear USB count

I'm open to suggestions! I'm from Argentina, so I might have availability issues with most recent mobos sadly.

Thanks a lot!

What is your budget? Do you have a preferred store or website that you purchase from?

I actually was planning on buying in MercadoLibre (sort of latin Ebay), so no specific store or website. there's one web store here in Arg with pretty good prices (for the country, still pricey converted back to dollars) but only has Asus Sabertooth M1, Maximus VII Gene, Maximus VIII Ranger & Z97-A in stock :/ They also list Maximus VII Hero, Sabertooth M2 and Z97-Pro but out of stock (might get restocked so I could still pick from them, I guess)

If really recommended, I could stretch up to the price of a Asus Sabertooth Mark1, I'd say I have a $250-ish budget

could you elaborate on the reasons?

I would pick MSI Z97 MPOWER ,very high quality component ,much cheaper and have very perfect overclock performance.

I finally reached for a Maximus VII Hero!
