Z77 = a i7-3770K but that would almost be insane going for that platform now when a Z97 platform i7-4790K is on sale at Newegg for less money than you can even still find an i7-3770K for.

Z97 = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117369 clocked at 4ghz out of the box, excellent gamer and overclocker!

Since you have the DDR3 memory add this motherboard suggestion, and you're under 500$ with both and free shipping as well.

Edit: OK tricky guy! :)
