It's been just over a week, I didn't think Haswell/Skylake would spark this much of a discussion/debate...

First things first: Happy New Year guys and gals

After a bit of a think, I want to go with a Haswell i5 (most likely a 4570). Still not too sure about the motherboard though. The memory kit is 4x4GB @ 1866 MHz (1.5V). Would this run safely in a Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3?
