I have a pc but the motherboard is proprietary so im starting new. I want to keep my i7 3770 and a couple other parts like the ram and the GPU. What motherboard do you guys recommend?

The 3770 is an LGA1155 socket CPU. You'll want a motherboard with a 77 series Chipset, NOT an X79.
If its just the 3770 and not the 3770k, you can go with an H77 mobo, since you won't be overclocking the CPU anyway...
