Hmm.. I feel as if you'd get better performance for all-around-use with an fx-6300 rather than an i3-4130. They're also very close to the same price. The 6300 includes more physical cores and even with Intel's hyperthreading, it can't catch the performance of the 6300. It's also a better overclocker from what I've heard.

If you're willing to get the fx-6300, then here are some good motherboard choices:

Mid-ATX: MSI ATX 970(incredible for overclocking)

Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX

Micro ATX: ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS
