Just get a Z97 mobo and save your headache , it's not like Z97 mobos are more expensive anyway
For example , both MSI Z87 G45 and MSI Z97 G45 price are exactly the same (150$)

There are so many good choices for you to choose : 100$ (Asrock Z97 Pro3) 110$ (Asrock Z97 Pro4) 144$ (Asrock Z97 Extreme 4 )
I prefer Asrock Z97 Extreme 4 because of their gold-plated Japanese caps and a very good integrated audio chip
