Motherboard Size 
Motherboards come in a variety of sizes for different applications. You will want to make sure your computer case is designed to hold the size of motherboard you buy. Smaller motherboards have less connections for components, but are useful when you need a PC that won't take up a lot of space.

Number of SATA Connections 
The number of SATA connections on your motherboard will determine how many mass storage devices and optical drives you can install in your computer. You will want one connection for each hard drive, solid state drive, and CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive you plan to use.
I recently decided it was time to build a new workstation to replace my old Core2 Duo E6600 box. With the advent of the Haswell generation of CPUs, I decided a Haswell based system was my best bet.
I was originally looking at this board's older brother, the GA-Z87X-UD4H, but the deal I thought I was going to be able to get on it on NewEgg fell through, and I decided that 3-way SLI wasn't really a necessary feature for my workstation. This board, however, had enough features - plenty of USB 3.0 and SATA ports, eSATA ports, integrated NIC, CPU overclocking, high-end RAM support, even USB headers on the board - that it seemed like an excellent choice without breaking the bank. So far, combined with a Core i5-4670K CPU and 16 GB of Crucial Ballistix Tactical CL8 RAM, I've been satisfied with my choice.
I haven't yet ventured into overclocking. Having spent the extra for a clock-unlocked CPU, I most likely will, but I wanted to have everything stable and playing nicely together first. That said, the QFLASH functionality is nice - I'm not running Windows, so their Windows-based BIOS updater is useless to me. Having the ability to update the BIOS without needing to boot into DOS is a great touch. Also, its UEFI implementation seems to get along swimmingly with my Linux distribution of choice (Mint 15). So far, whether I'm doing videoconferences with coworkers, browsing the web, writing code or transcoding video, it's been quick and stable, the SSD for the OS boot volume doesn't hurt either - booting is nearly instantaneous.
Edit: I had been having some graphics stability issues with a new nVidia GeForce GTX 760 graphics card I'd purchased for this workstation.Read more ›

TL;DR Buy it, it works well. For those of you who can actually pay attention for two minutes, here's a bit more detail. If you have ever built your own computer (and I suspect you have if you are looking at motherboard reviews), then I will tell you this simple story to explain the excellence of the Z87. I plugged everything in, attached all the cables, CLOSED THE CASE, and powered it up. Such hubris, such confidence! I've never done anything so stupid. Why would I close the case when there was the inevitable half hour of futzing with cables before the thing even booted? You know what? It booted the first time. Came up and recognized my Win 7 partition. It just worked. I was floored. Never had that happen. For this alone, the motherboard deserves 5 stars. Why did such a miracle occur? Well, it wasn't my genius. I've been having problems getting computers going for years. I suspect some of it was Windows 7, but a lot of credit goes to the Z87 board. First, I had no problem attaching all of the cables. Every connector had a very clear silk-screened label to it. There was no need to refer to a cryptic manual to figure out which connector to plug in the front USB to. There were no mistakes because it was all easy to find. Second, the board's UEFI BIOS seems rock-solid and I didn't have to mess with it. I think it's worth mentioning that I run a split drive partition with an SSD for Windows and a terabyte HDD for data. The motherboard and Windows handled this with no problem at all. I'm still stunned, can you tell? No issues with my Radeon 7870 graphics card. Even with the huge size of this fans on this card, there were no problems fitting the card over the motherboard. It's well layed out. The whole computer is incredibly fast (though that wasn't just a mobo change. I changed out most every important component at the time.) I would recommend this board to anyone. It's a great success.

Update 1108: Now I successfully installed Mavericks on my rig, so far so good. The only thing that is not working is iMessage, but it's the cpu to blame. I added some benchmarks to the photo review, you can check them out.
I purchased this gigabyte z87-ud3h mother board together with the i7-4770K cpu. The mother board is on the lower end of gigabyte performance line. That being said, this mother board is very capable, but the material/component used may not be as high quality as those used on a higher end board.
The build quality is very good, as far as I can tell. It feels very sturdy in hand. The heat spread feels and looks cool as well. I like the black and blue style, matches my case if I take off the side panel once in a while. Feature wise, as I said, this board is very capable. However, I do have one complain: all the USBs on the back I/O are 3.0. While this is a big plus in terms of speed, I prefer to have 2 USB 2.0 connectors. For one thing, you will always connect some sort of peripherals on the back, that does no require 3.0 speed. For another, some booting device prefer 2.0 connection, which is most stable.
So far, this board runs pretty well except one small issue (explained later). The bios is intuitive and looks great. If you prefer the older style, you can switch it back to classic mode. I was able to overclock the cpu to 4.3 GHz and had zero problem. Further OC still have not been tested.
One small issue is the driver(s). I have to manually install the LAN driver from gigabyte website. This may not sound too bad, but think about when you connect the cable and found no internet connection, thus cannot download the driver! I had to go to my laptop for the driver. The audio driver is also not properly installed.Read more ›
