Hello all,
I have a bit of a conundrum and I was hoping you all might be able to help me out.
I was browsing on a website of a local PC shop this morning and saw (what I thought was) a great deal on a Gigabyte Z87 motherboard/4670K bundle.

Thinking this was the GA-Z87X-OC Force being offered for that price, I decided to order it. (I honestly had no idea that the "non-Force" version existed.)
After realizing it wasn't the Force, I'm faced with the choice of cancelling my order (it's still not too late) and going with the Sniper 5 or GA-Z87X-OC Force when the local store gets them in, or I can go ahead with this and just use the GA-Z87X-OC in my build.
The reason I'm leaning towards the Sniper 5 or the OC Force is that I'm building an orange and green themed PC that either would suit perfectly. Budget is sort of out the window at this point, so price isn't really an issue. And since my build will be watercooled, I thought the built in waterblocks would be great to incorporate into the loop.
Another thing I noticed is that the GA-Z87X-OC only has 1 PCIe x16 slot where the others have 2 (Sniper 5) and 3 (OC Force), and I'm running two 7950s in CrossFire.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
