I am planning to buy a new PC for running a Linux-based system. I have my eyes set on an INTEL CORE I7 4770 3.4GHz LGA1150 HASWELL with a BIOSTAR BIOSTAR H81MG 1150. 

My question is will I be able to install Linux (at least Ubuntu) on this PC? I have read on a forum that Linux can't be installed in Biostar mobo, is this true? Does anyone have or had any experience with this mobo?

Don't know. But I have just bought a Compaq tower PC type 
100-219ea with Ubuntu preloaded. It's a very simple machine 
with little option for extension (except via USB). 
£189 from Hewlett-Packard.
I think it's going to suit us very well as an office machine.

Why do you want to use a high-end CPU with a
low-end MBO ?????

It is actually a desktop package in a computer store, I will not be the one to build it as I don't have experience building one. I would like to make sure that I'd be able to install Linux on it before I buy it.

As long as you configure the BIOS properly (UEFI),
it should work with Ubuntu.
Nothing in that MBO is weird.
Plain Intel base one.

It is a desktop package sold on a computer store. I will not build the PC myself as I have little knowledge about hardware. I just want to make sure that I'd be able to install Linux on int before I buy one.

If Biostar is not good enough, what other mobo can you recommend that would work well with Linux?

I like Gigabyte...They build a first class board.

It makes not difference, what the brand of the MBO is
at the low end, most are the same, it's the UEFI bios implementation
what it makes a difference.
While I use Gigabyte MBO's (good and cheap), I will no recommend those 
to a non-tech person.
I'll say that Asus will be the best one in your case, again, your 
Biostar should be fine for your purposes, just learn how to configure it 
properly it you use UEFI on Linux.

Thank you for the input. Is there a tutorial or site where I can get info on configuring this UEFI thing on Linux?

  I configured the bios in the usual way.  When I installed opensuse it 
took care of the boot problems.  So I would guess for most of the 
distributions you will not have a problem....with the proviso that the 
distribution is "modern".

Yes, but SUSE supports UEFI, not all Linux distros do it.

Yes, and that usually holds true about everything in this life.
I do use Mint16 / Win7, 64 bits on a gigabyte UEFI MBO, no problems at all.
UEFI boot for both OS's, but I know what I'm doing, the OP is a normal 
user.

Google: 'Linux and UEFI', pick your distro and type of BIOS.
