that board doesn't have some nice reviews about it. Also, if you are getting an overclocking processor, you won't find any better than ASUS motherboard for Haswell series. So, clearly don't go for that motherboard you have mentioned.

you can check the difference here:

If you don't want to sli and don't want to overclock higher then go with K as VRM on the -K if you intend overclocking, -A is a better long term bet for that due to 8 phase on VRM. 4 phase boards are best run at stock.

i doubt it's build quality at that price. I wouldn't waste money by buying something cheap now and later getting all kinds of problems. Here is another card, if you want to have at that price range:
Asus R9 290: http://www.ebuyer.com/583808-asus-r9-290-4gb-gddr5-dual-dvi-hdmi-displayport-pci-e-graphics-card-r9290-4gd5
The price seems quite good for now. I would rely upon brands like Asus, Msi, EVGA, Gigabyte for the best.
