Any AM3+ motherboard supports DDR3.

Most of my rigs use the ASRock 970 Extreme 4 (which supports up to 5 cards using risers for 2 or more of them), but availability has been getting spotty on those of late.

The ASUS and Biostar mining motherboards have good reps, but finding low-cost CPUs to put in them is getting to be a problem as Socket 1150 CPUs have been out of production for a while now.
To be fair, AMD seems to have shut down production of most of their FX series CPUs as well but the supply "in the channel" is still pretty good.

+1 for the ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2.0

It's the most famous Mining motherboard, I use it myself and it's rock solid : never had any problem with it. You plug it, you use it

Biostar TB85 is a good mining motherboard and you can easily add up to 6 cards later.

BIOSTAR TB85 LGA 1150 Intel B85 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboards - Intel - $59.95

Another good choice for a mining motherboard is the ASRock H81 Pro BTC R2.0

ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2.0 LGA 1150 Intel H81 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - $74.95

Plus one on the BIOSTAR TB85, built my first rig using it with 4 RX570

Putting the finishing touches on my rig but just need to find a good motherboard to pair with what I have currently.

Currently have

Corsair TX850 powersupply
16gb HyperX DDR 3
1x MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8GB GDDR5 PCIe Video Card
1x ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 Overclocked Dual-Fan 8GB GDDR5 Video Card
i5 intel processor
256gb SSD
win 10

Any recommendation on what motherboard to support up to 4 GPUs using DDR3?

Other remaining questions I have

Can pair those two cards together with no issues?
Anything else I am missing to get started?

This community has been a huge help and these are the last things I need to put it all together.

Thanks!
