They are the same thing apart from a tiny difference in clock speeds.

P.S you will want a Z97 board to make proper use of the K CPU.

What about this mobo ? Will this be suitable too?

Gigabyte Z97M-DS3H Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard

Sort of fits better into my price range trying not to go over £650.
