looks like a decent mobo spec wise.

 

one thing tho: that website looks dodgy as all hell, they even made a typo in the spec sheet...

Where exactly ? And well , they have great prices , a friend recommended it to me he bought his PC from there .

Doesn't that board need a BIOS update before it will work with Haswell-R CPUs? It doesn't have the ability to update the BIOS without a compatible CPU either, so it won't work if it's not on the newer BIOS.

they missed a zero in one of the listed ram speeds.

 

it happens i guess, and different cultures have different standards for websites.

It very well could, but from a technical perspective, it will work.

I'm not sure what BIOS will be on the board. According to ASRock's page, you need version P1.90 to support the 4460. http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B85M%20Pro4/?cat=CPU
