It's preferable to take a Gigabyte H87 but take with it a I5 4570/4670 in order to avoid an upgrade of BIOS

Look at here :

The H97 chipset is like a "preview" for coming Broadwell motherboards, it's integrated the SATA express 10 Gb/s and PCI Express of 32 Gb/s, but at this time you dont may use all this.

But H87 Still be a reference and this new H97 chipset can contains problems and bugs, and Gigabyte is a good brand better than ASUS I think (but it's only what I think....)

Why? The i7 has hyperthrrading and the i5 you has a locked multiplier meaning that it is not overclockable. If you really want an i5 go for an i5 4690k and a gtx 780 instead.

Wel i'm also looking at the i5 4670k, since 4690k is not available here locally(india). Also what motherboard would you suggest if i opt fr 4670k??

I would go with thishttp://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B00K80MMOO?cache=b19174149e1a88298d3201d5cbcc712c&pi=AC_SX110_SY165&qid=1404883847&sr=8-8#ref=mp_s_a_1_8

I was thinking Gigabyte Z97 D3H OR Asus Z97 A
