*Future Excavator-based AMD microprocessors may upgrade the UVD engine to version 6. One of the anticipated features of this UVD could be support for H.265 format (this feature is not confirmed).th.V

It cant have UVD engine as it is a CPU only.

The PCI-E 3.0 is a feature for Kaveri APU-s that it has ,the only way you get PCI-E 3.0 with AMD is using Kaveri based APU/CPU.
The 860K looks like a great choice.
