I'm looking at that MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard and my question is would that be a good motherboard for my set up?

I plan to run games at mid-high settings if possible. Can someone tell me which motherboard brands are the best? I'm completely new to PC building so I'm a little scared on how to go about this. Any help/criticisms/questions would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I added the full build. I plan to overclock in the future as I learn more about it. Will this build let me do that?

Z77 boards have the 1155 Socket that supports 2nd and 3rd Gens Core Processors and the Z87 has 1150 Socket that supports 4th Gen Processors, since u have chosen a 4670K u need a Z87

I'm looking at $100-150 for a mobo. What's the difference between the z77 and z87? I see a lot of build with either set up.
