I am sure you will be blown away by the difference in performance from where you are coming from.
What kind of budget are you looking to allocate for the mobo? And what are the must have features for the mobo?
Once you know those two things then you can begin to short list motherboards. Just to give you a heads up, the motherboard will not limit or determine your overclock. Your cooling solution will fall over long before your CPU is maxed.So any motherboard will do the job. Look at features that you need, and features that you want. Then trade them against cost.
Overall your total budget should be about the same as your first build.
