No Z87 notherboards with PCI?

What modifications you looking at?

Definitely have to do a build log. :D

I want a purple and black one with a purple mid wall. Not sure how well it will go with the M5 sniper so if someone has a motherboard suggestion thats black or black and blue that would be nice.

Im also thinking about some stencil work or etching on the window acrylic. thinking of designs at the moment. Thinking something spacey. The mayhems metallic purple is gorgeous.
 
Im not too concerned with the Sound Card now. just a decent board

Custom Parvum is a go. They are happy to make it for me. Yay!

ordered the following.

Custom Purple and Black Parvum with Stencil work. (Ordering Tuesday. I'm poor.)
Asrock Z87M Extreme4
Samsung 250GB EVO
Intel i5 4670K

Have ordered purple braid from MDPC.

The current equipment to go in.

Zotac 560TI 448. (Tempted to spray the yellow heatsink purple, but that might invalidate my warranty. Seen as it will be gone next month)
500GB F3. As my Raid drives have gone bang. YAY
16GB of Crucial Ballistix Tracer
My OCZ 600w ModXstream. (Bit silly for me to braid this, but hey.)

New Kit, eyeing up next month.

2x R9 280X
Another EVO for some Raid 0 action
A 750W PSU of somekind. Thinking a Seasonic fully Modular unit. Obviously getting the braiding treatment.
Full Watercooling. (EK Supremacy, 2X240 RAD, EK RES and PUMP Combo. Acrylic Tubing, and Mayhems Purple Aurora)

Its been a good 4 years since I have given my PC some love, and its about time I gave it some proper stuff.

Wrote it down, so I know what to buy.

Once it all arrives I will post a log if that's what people want.

Then next month I will order the rest of the stuff.
 
The asrock matches my colour scheme, that board seemed to have good reviews and will do 8x8x you have any other suggestions? Also has dedicated sound.
 
Maybe wait to see if a black Z97 mATX board is released soon.

P.S its only a Realtek Audio chip on that extreme4, nothing mindblowing
 
Whats the release date? Aren't they making the TIM better for the haswell chips too?

I was all excited stulid and you're making me wait!
 
Oh ok. I was expecting something horrid like 4 months. Think I saw something leaked too. Time to browse.

I'm guessing the revised chips are a little while longer? Is it that much of an issue under water? just a stock heatsink type of problem?
 
What board have you got at the moment? If it's a decent AM3+ board, an FX 8320 would be the most cost effective upgrade and you can spend more on the graphics card.
