GA-Z87X-D3H vs GA-H87-HD3

[jejo1]

I am not sure what to buy the GA-Z87X-D3H motherboard or the GA-H87-HD3 motherboard with the
GeForce GTX 770 WindForce 3X OC 4GB Edition and the
I7 4770K and
4 GB RAM 1333 MHz and the
Seasonic M12II evo edition and the
Cooler Master HAF 912 Case

The Z87 allows for overclocking. The H87 does not.

If you plan on overclocking, I'd suggest getting a Z97 board, just in case you decide to go with Devil's Canyon in the future.

this shouldnt be a dilema. having a 4770k you need at least a Z87 in order to take advantage of the unlocked multiplier and voltage. however i would suggest a newer z97 mobo instead

GA-Z87X-D3H. You'll want a Z87 board if you're overclocking. If you're not overclocking, no need for the i7-4770k; Grab a Xeon E3-1230V3 instead (very slightly underclocked 4770, but much cheaper).

Also, you're going to want to get 8GB of RAM. And if you're not doing SLI or using more than 2 1080p screens, the 4GB VRAM on the GPU is useless; Save some money and get the 2GB version.
