I would go z97 for motherboard and dual channel on ram

Shouldn't you buy a haswell refresh mobo to go with the haswell refresh cpu. z97 mobos have sata express and some other stuff z87 doesnt have.

So, well i choose the z87 because it has WiFi among other things like blueetooh and it's a t a good price.. But is there a big change in performance with z97? I honestly don't know... Can I get a z97 with WiFi for similar price?

you may have to pay like 10-20 bucks more but yeah. To get a z87 mobo to work with haswell refresh you'd have to update bios unless its already on most recent.

The closest ATX motherboard on Amazon is the Z97-Pro(WiFi ac), about US$50 more. Stay with the Z87 Pro. It has USB BIOS Flashback which lets you update the BIOS using a USB stick with no need to have a cpu or memory installed.

 

Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory would be a better choice of memory.

I' want To buy single channel ram because I'd like to get another 8gb stick later and be able to reach 32gb without replacing the others... And.... Mm.. Is the corsair vengeance better than the kingston hyperx?

If you really think you will want 32GB okay. If 24GB would be enough you could go with 2x4GB now and add 2x8GB later. While dual channel does not make a noticeable difference in gaming, in general use the performance difference is 5% - 15%.

 

No real difference in the quality of Hyper X and Vengeance. What counts, in descending order of importance are: total amount, number of sticks/channels, speed, and timings.
