What's your budget?

My Pc: Cpu: I7 4790k @ 4,8 Ghz @1,25 volts, Motherboard: Maximus VII Formula, Graphicscard: 2x Titan X @1,4 at stock voltage (soon to be replaced), Ram: 32 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 Cl 9, SSD: 2x 850 Pro 1 Tb in Raid 0, 2x Samsung 840 Evo 1 tb raid 1,, PSU: Corsair HXi Series 1000W 80+ Platinum, Case: H440. Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud.

I would get an Asus Z87-A. But I would recommend that you should overclock in the future because you have a K series cpu.

technology will change (prolly a lot more) in that time frame. but for now spend

less in CPU and more in GPU.

if not using overclocking, look into the XEON/B-H mobos to save some cash

and spend it in better GPU needs (assuming this is for gaming).

I would just wait for a bit longer because a newer value oriented motherboard may be released. We also might see different graphics card variations such as ti and ti boost and what not.

 

Also, if you are not overclocking, why spend extra on an unlocked processor?
