Dude I have a evo 212 and a b350 motherboard and I got to 3.7 on all cores with a vcore of 1.25. You don't need to worry about power phases until you are pushing for 4.0 to 4.1 ghz. Also I would just like to say that you won't be able to figure out which has the better power phases setup unless you know the quality and the quantity of the phases which most mobo companies don't give info on. Bottom line you are fine and just pick the motherboard based on something else besides power phases.

Sweet, thanks for the feedback

Taichi all the way.

For watercooling, no reason not to 4-4.1ghz since 3.7ghz is doable with the stock cooler.

i have the taichi i can highly recommend it.  

Taichi!
 

AsRock has superior BIOS than MSi in the regard of memory XMP profiles, being often able to operate 2933mhz guaranteed and higher while many MSi boards unfortunately gets stuck on 2666mhz whatever you do.
 
Therefore Taichi is the best pick. 

There's tons and tons of options, takes a little time to go over them all but easy to find anything you need quickly.
 
Xmp works for me on a 2x8 3200 C16 trident z rgb kit flawlessly.

Do you sit close to your monitors?
If you do, you might hate both.
 
I had a 27" 1080p monitor and I used it for about a week before I gave it to my dad. I sit about 3 feet from the monitor, and I absolutely could not stand the low DPI, it gave me headaches. The 31.5" would look horrible unless you're sitting quite far from it.

If you can save up a little more there's the Acer CB270HU.
You can also consider the Dell U2515H. It's a little small for the resolution though.
 
Are you wanting a big monitor? Smaller one? There's an LG 21:9 monitor in your price range as well. 29"
   

pictures?

It probably will be. If you are gaming, the i5 will be better than any FX series. Also, if you have no interest in upgrading to a 4690K/4790K, then you can go with this setup.

I surely wouldn't do overclocking with a cooler like This....

Not sure if related to post or nah, literally just saw the word Smartwatch;
 
The only smartwatch I use is the Sony Ericcson LiveView. It's only got 6 buttons (4 capacitive) and it does exactly what I need it to do - show notifications, change phone volume and music tracks from the homescreen, and show call notifications. I run an open source OS on it called OpenLiveView, just gets the job done. Apps and all that fancy stuff on my wrist at a premium price point makes no sense at all.
