I currently have an ASUS Z87 Pro motherboard which is one of the best boards out there but there are two problems: It doesn't go with my color theme and Z87 has nothing new coming to it in the future.

 

I am stuck between these two boards:

Which one should i go with? I would like to sell my Z87 on eBay and hopefully have enough money for one of these boards.

Z87 will support all the same CPU that Z97 will in the future if any...all it's gonna require is a bios update, the pins layout is the same everything is the same so there's no reason why a CPU that would work on Z97 wouldnt work on the Z87 chipset.
