Im not gonna OC + cant get xenon, also I can also choose between the 2 that I mentioned OR
Gigabyte G1.Sniper B5 S1150 - thats another option
please understand that for you it might look silly not to get Z97 but in my country for some reason the z97 series costs much more for no reason so I'm choosing with something between my price range so I have those 3 options + I don't want i5 over i7 I need multi tasking

Then go for D3H motherboard with 4th Gen. (i7-4770) CPU because with Haswell refresh and H87 chipset motherboard you'll need to do a BIOS update to run Haswell refresh CPU's

4770 is a year old Haswell CPU and 4790 is a Haswell refresh CPU, all Z87, H87, B85 chipsets support all Haswell CPU's out of the box while for Haswell refresh CPU's you have to update BIOS in those chipsets to run new CPU's
To run Haswell refresh CPU's out of the box you'll need to get Z97 or H97 chipset motherboard.
So, if you want avoid BIOS update, get H87 chipset motherboard with i7-4770 CPU but if you want 4790, you have to get H97 chipset motherboard :)

Edit: 4770 and 4790 have similar performance so you'll be fine with 4770 CPU :)

I know I've marked your answer as best solution but I've wanted to ask something, I don't know how to build a computer myself but I'm paying for a company that I buy the parts from them to build me my computer so maybe I should just use the 4790 because it's a bit faster and just tell them to upgrade the bios like you told me that's needed inorder that I could use d3h along side with the 4970 what do you say ? because money isn't the problem here (in that case) since I pay only $10 more for the 4790 instead of the 4770

That's a good idea, if they able to assemble your future PC and update BIOS in D3H motherboard it would be better :)
