Hey Guys.

I made a thread a couple of months ago regarding an upgrade for my CPU and MB. Link is below for more detail. I would like to order as soon as possible so I'm quite impatient, I've been saving for 3 months to upgrade :)

Current Spec:
- CX430 PSU
- ATI 6850
- i3 540 @ 3.07GHz upgrading to i5 Haswell
- 8GB RAM

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=25601362

After posting my specs and receiving helpful advice from active forum members, my final purchase would be:

- Intel Core i5-4670 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £169.99 inc VAT
- Gigabyte H87-HD3 Intel H87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £80.99 inc VAT

CPU is in stock but the motherboard isn't, I'm also not overclocking the CPU btw. My question is, what is an appropriate alternative motherboard around the same price range to get that would perform and function fine for my specs?

After poking around, I'm interested in, what are your thoughts?
- MSI H87-G43 Intel H87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard

Thanks, I appreciate any advice.

4670K is out of stock but what are the key differences since I can't spot them on the spec page?

I should have edited the price on the H87 MB considering that was copied from 2 months ago, the H87 is approximately £70 now. The MSI H87 vs the Gigabyte H87 is slightly different in price, would this be a better option than the Z87 considering it's £10 cheaper?

Thanks.
