You want a better motherboard. Something like an h97 board.

why is better?

 

[tiny voices]

It has MUCH more features, more ports, faster RAM is useable, most stable power phasing, and is more suited to run that CPU. The H81 boards are for Pentiums and budget i3s. You will be wringing out that board every time you hit boost clock on that i7. It is not meant for it.

I would go with a Xeon 1231/1241 v3, if you have a dedicated GPU, and an H97 pro4. If you need IGP, then the 1246v3 with same board.

er, that graphic card might/mostly will bottleneck the cpu. what graphic card is it?

 

[tiny voices]

He is not gaming, so he has no need for a powerful GPU. There will be no bottleneck.

I would go with this, giving you an SSD to do your work within.
