Excuse me, I meant Z87. He has that exact motherboard in his desktop as well :') (it is a great motherboard, btw). I'm not really planning on overclocking it though, as I have no experience in doing so and it'd suck to screw up 200 bucks of processor.
About the Windows/Linux thing, I might have to try emulating the same games with a live USB of Ubuntu and Windows 8.1 on my dads computer, then compare the speeds. That's a fair test, I think.
