I'm thinking of purchasing a MSI z87 G45 mobo. For the cpu a 4670k...this is haswell..and there may be a problem. My current psu is a OCZ modxstream 700w. Its not on the haswell compatibility list. I know you can disable sleep states in bios or the os but i'm switching from amd and i need to do a clean install. How can i access the bios if i have to install a fresh windows install first? I heard people not being able to POST. If i cant even post (idk if i will or not be able to) how will i access my bios?

the sleep state is only when the pc goes to sleep so should not be an issue when first booting up and u dont need windows to boot into bios either and if the psu cant handle the sleep state it just goes into a different one that the psu can handle
You don't need to have an OS installed to access the UEFI settings (BIOS is almost universally depreciated on all 6, 7, and 8 series motherboards). Just press DEL/F2/F10 on startup.
With that said, the OCZ ModXStreme PSUs are garbage. The new Seasonic G series are Haswell ready at a great price.
