You'll probabl yneed a BIOS update before using an 8-series board with a Haswell Refresh CPU. Try the ASRock Z97 Anniversary or a Pro4?

Sorry to ask, but what do you mean by updating the bios? Is it old or something? That mobo looks great.

If you buy a Z97 , most of the boards will post and you can update the BIOS later if needed.
