I mainly just suggest ASUS for MBs, they have few problems and last, Gigabyte and ASRock are also good. The PRO and Hero are high quality boards with the Z87 chipset, it will let you OC your CPU a bit, depending on the cooling you get.....

Well nothing is not really "up to par", it is just an odd mix of parts you have chosen. For one thing, why would you get only 1 stick of memory when you are running a CPU with duel memory controllers, you would be losing about 40% of your memory performance, and why a "K" CPU with a B85 MB?

It's still a bit in progress. I did change the Ram to 2x4gb sticks. And i havent really looked that far into motherboards as of late, I will be looking into it very soon though. Thanks for your help and sorry for the smart remark.

Thanks, I'll look into it. I have a lot of time before i'll have the money for all of this so i'll probably change the build a few more times. I'll probably also be getting a small SSD also. Since I haven't been looking at motherboards maybe you could suggest a few for me? I don't want to impose.
