I am in the process of deciding what parts to get for my first gaming PC setup. Everything I have pretty set

Heres the current list: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=30283127

I am looking to play most, if not all newer games the next few years at fairly high settings

My only issue is the motherboard. Im looking for something that is reliable and will allow for plenty of upgrades in the future.

I have a MSI Z87 in there now, and Im pretty happy with that, but will it work well with my i5 4670k?
Alot of people have been recommending an Asus or an ASRock motherboard but many reviews have been sketchy when it comes to customer service and reliability with those brands.

I do intend to overclock, and possibly crossfire in the future.

Is there any well build MBs available that will go well with the setup I have now and what I intend to do?

Also any other help with the actual list would be much appreciated :)

Price is not an issue with the setup
