Need help selecing a motherboard

I am looking for help in choosing a motherboard. I am looking at the Apollo level 3 system and trying to decide which of those options would be best for me. I plan on gaming and hope to upgrade to a second GTX 980 at some point. Every time I try to read reviews on the motherboard that I have the options for, I find lots of complaints about each. For example, the Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z97 has a lot of users complaining that the audio ports stop working shortly after purchase. It is really intimidating trying to decide which to chose, as I do not want to spend all this money only to have such an important function fail on me. If anyone who knows motherboards can look over the options in the Apollo level 3 system and make a recommendation, I would really appreciate it.

I am considering the following system:

Processor: Intel Core i7 4790K 4.0 GHz (Codename Devils Canyon) (Unlocked CPU) (Quad Core)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE G1.Sniper Z97 (Intel Z97 Chipset) (Onboard Creative Sound)
System Memory: 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Digital Storm Certified Performance Series (Highly Recommended) (Hand Tested)
Power Supply: 850W EVGA SuperNOVA
Storage Set 1: 1x SSD (120GB Samsung 840 EVO)
Storage Set 2: 1x Storage (1TB Western Digital - Black Edition)
Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections)
Graphics Card(s): 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 4GB (Includes PhysX)
Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio
Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 2: Digital Storm Vortex 120mm Radiator Liquid CPU Cooler (High-Performance Edition)
Chassis Fans: Standard Factory Chassis Fans
CPU Boost: Standard Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Automatic Overclock

This is the Apollo level 3 with following changes: switched from Seagate to WD HDD, switched to an 850W PSU, canceled the CPU over clock, and changed the motherboard.

It really comes down to personal preference when picking a board with some selection over features.

The two bprat pointed out will work great, a long with your G1 Sniper. They provide good quality components and features to allow for overclocking (with that 4790k loves doing).

For me, I will forever and always use ASUS boards. I absolutely love them and will never go down any other route. Pull up your mobo selection and go with any of the ASUS boards. The most expensive, the better the features (Sound card, overclocking, stability, etc...).
