I would get a Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD, and Windows 7 Pro (which can be upgraded anytime in the next year to Win 10 pro for free)

I just had to rma/return an asus z97-a USB 3.1 for bios issues, just a heads up I'm sure you'll be fine.

Using an msi z97 gaming 3 instead now it's been working mint, would recommend an msi over the asus
