The Asus Maximus VI Hero that he picked uses the Z87 chipset, which does not have native support for Haswell refresh processors.

You could argue that all he needs is to flash a later bios, but please read this.

But of course he can simply switch to a Z97 chipset board if he wants to use a Haswell refresh chip.

I assume he reusing an existing drive because a 128GB SSD is hardly enough to store everything.
