Looks pretty good to me, but get a z97 board instead as most z87 boards require a bios update before working with haswell refresh (i5 4690K is haswell refresh)

the h81 i bought didn't need me to get a bios update for the haswell refresh. just check when the board was made. mine came with the update out of the box.

get a z97 board, and a lower wattage psu try to get a single 8 gb stick instead of 2 4gb sticks.

750W is for when I eventually go to SLI and a 4K screen

But then I can just update it?

i dont think its that much of a problem on modern boards, and I would be 4 sticks is harder for a computer to run then 1......

ok then that's fine

if you get a z97 you will be able to get broadwell chips when they come out. If you wanted to

You'd need a haswell CPU to do that...

 

Best to just get z97 anyways as its newer and has more features.

So the CPU I've picked wont run on that unless I update it first?

Correct.

 

And you can't update it without an older CPU such as the i5 4670K.

Well crap because I bought the board already maybe the tech shop I bought it from will update it for me

Just buy an i5 4670K instead then, it will work with the mobo right out of the box.

I'd do that, but mabey the board will post and you can update the bios with a usb stick. I think it will work. It just won't know what cpu it is.

change the motherboard to Z97, MSI Z97 pc mate is cheap and good

if u dont want to overclock then go for  MSI H97 pc mate and i5 4460

It Saves you money
