Thank you, I just have one question though. Is there a ay to turn off the blue LEDS it comes with because I am going for a Black with Red LED PC build.
 
I have a HAF X Case and I can only suggest one great motherboard for the price:

I have LGA 2011 Motherboard not your socket, but This motherboard is great.

Great choice on the case, and this motherboard looks great in the case as well as it's RED/Black and the case has a massive 23cm RED LED Fan at the front. I know 2 people who own the Z87 Killer and has never failed or let them down on OC performance ect...defiantly worth it.

Sorry i'm a bit of a computer derp, so by 'not your socket' do you mean I wont be able to fit this mobo with my cpu?
 


sorry I mean my socket is LGA 2011, yours is LGA 1150, nothing to worry about, just saying I have that case with a different socket. Your CPU Supports the Z87 Killer, Z87 Is for 4th generation LGA 1150 CPU's, which yours is.
 


DON'T GO PRE-BUILT WATER COOLING......extra problems (leaking..destroy hardware, have to change the coolant every so often) and no performance difference to high performance air coolers. Stay with a more reasonably priced CPU Cooler, it's not a k version so it can't be OC'd so why spend $70+ on a CPU Cooler when there is no point?

Yeah I always thought poorly of water cooling due to potential risks. Thank you for linking me to this site, im going to have a look around on it and see how to the prices weigh up. Do you know if they build the PCs or you if you pay extra?

Well as far as i know the kraken is quite good build.... but yeah u are right not everyone into it....

anyways the Noctua is pricier than evo, nothing can beat price/performance of evo right now..
but if u wanna the best the noctua is a good option, the cooler will also cool your VRM on the motherboard..
