1) You should get the Z97 instead the Z87, but it is up to you. 2) Also you can get the win7 pro for less too. 3) If you want you can get the 1600mhz ram, but the haswell likes the high speed ram.

Here is my list.

Windows 7 Pro is less than Windows 8? :O

+1... and is there any proof supporting Haswell liking higher speed RAM? I haven't ever seen any, sorry for asking.

Because the OP may need the PC for games, there are a few of reviews for the RAM using for the haswell.
