So I'm getting a new motherboard and CPU (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3HYgh) and I was wondering would I be able to mess about the very limited multiplier that non K parts support or will I have to get a Z87 board to do that minimal amount of overclocking and will that specific board in the part picker link support XMP? Any help appreciated :) 

Addition: Can I also run a second auxiliary monitor off of the CPU's integrated GPU and my main screen off of my GPU?

You wont be able to mess with the multiplier as the H87 doesn't support and you also need a K model to mess with the multiplier as its locked on non-k's
You could only increase the bus speed but that's about it.
XMP will need the Z87 chipset too!
Hope this helps!

Also, you cant have two GPU's running simultaneously unless you have two in crossfire or SLI.

But I've read from various places that non K parts can have a couple hundred megahertz bump. I got that wrong and I think understandably so because you can get them to sustain the boost clock they are rated for and do you know about the XMP?

The solution to this begs to differ but I can't find any examples of it being done

XMP ram only works on the Z87 chipset.
As it counts as overclocking the Z87 chipset can overclock RAM, CPU and GPU

OK thanks for the help but about the dual monitors I am confused because of the solution to this thread http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1928623/run-du...

Basically, you can either plug your 2nd monitor into the motherboard (The ones on the rear panel) or you can plug your 2nd monitor into the Graphics card.
You can't use your graphics card and your integrated GPU at the same time.

That is all I wanted to know as I have 2 VGA monitors and only one VGA connector on my GPU (GTX 760) and again thank you for the help

You can use a Active adapter to convert HDMI signal to VGA but they are quite expensive and it does introduce a bit of lag which isn't the best for gaming.

It won't be a second gaming monitor purely a productivity aid so I'll consider it

In that case, it would be perfect because I've been using a active adapter that was £20 from eBay and its worked like a charm.

Yeah! That's why having two or more GPU's (except in crossfire or sli) will never be possible, as you mentioned, the drivers would be a pain, also the chipset would only be able to support one or the other.

Are you sure about the above info? I've always been told that with Intel chipsets it is one or the other, but NOT both at the same time.

That's what I said, you can plug it either into the motherboard or the graphics card.
You cant have both.
Meant to say can't not can

OK - that makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification!

Additionally, if a discrete gfx card is plugged into the mobo, that will disable the onboard IGPU, so if you wish to use the IGPU you must remove the add on gfx card. IOW areal PITA to use the IGPU, and I haven't even mentioned driver conflicts.
