Hey everyone, Getting the Haswell Refressh i7-4790k chip by 4th of July to finish building my rig, and am wondering since I was currently looking to get the Asus Maximus VI Extreme board, but am unsure if I should wait for the Z97 board, and will that be weeks or months away probably, or stick with this z87 board...would I have to adjust bios?

thanks!!
 
Solution
if you stick with the z87 board, it will need a bios update, and if you plan on getting a broadwell chip in the future, you need a 9-series board.
ya because i see the refresh chip on amazon says:
Compatible with z97 boards only
Not compatible with Z87 or Intel Motherboards
Intel Rapid Storage Technology
Processor with Unlocked Clock Multiplier

What comes out July 17th? And I am looking to get what the Asus Maximus VI Extreme gives me. 4-way SLI and comes with great sound and wifi additives that I would need to put money into later anyway. What other boards are there that are similar to this?
