I don't think you need the display port so you could save 78 pounds by sticking with the second Mobo choice.
If you're getting a GPU, don't worry about onboard graphics ports.

However, there are other reasons to get the LK; better VRMs and x8/x8 CF/SLI.

Which i5 are you going for? If it's not a k-SKU, there's no point in a Z chipset.

Make sure you get the right generation chip - Haswell for Z87 and Ivy for Z77 (you could go for Sandy, but that's a little old).
