Any mobo recommendations?
edit: this video shows the exact same issue and I'm pretty certain the same damn GPU is used. According to description, it was the motherboard.
Another one points to PCI-e connectors:

Is it possible that I'm using the wrong connectors? I did plug in 8+6 (8-2 connector), but there's more than one pair of PCI-e connectors.
I'm not sure whether onboard GPU is on the MB or CPU but either way, if the problem was caused by a faulty CPU, it would still be happening after you removed the graphics card.
I'm using an Asus Z97-A, which is pretty good but you could save a bit going for the next one down (-P) if it has all the features you need. That's what I used for my sister's recent build but the 4-stage VRM will probably limit the amount you could OC an i5-4670k.
As for the PCI-E connectors, as long as they say PCI-E (or maybe VGA, as mine say) on them then I think it shouldn't matter what pair you use.
