Hey, everyone. I'm about to start ordering parts for a new PC build (over the next couple months), but of all the parts I'm having difficulty settling on a motherboard. I'm wanting to SLI two GTX 760's at some point, and I don't plan on doing any serious overclocking at all. I don't need a ton of features or anything crazy, just something dependable.

The OS and HDD I'm buying here in town since I've heard of many HDD"s arriving dead, and I have a DVD drive from my old PC.
Great case, I've been using a similar 932 for years and love it. I've built family members computers using the very one you have listed here, my close friend also uses one.
edit, wrong link
I'm an AMD/overclocker guy and you appear to be going the way of intel so we'll just leave it at that.
Seasonic PSUs are a great choice
WD Black 7.2k HDD recommended
You can get a 4gb 760 for nearly the same price.
Why would you sli 760s with 2gb lol?
E: I mean they're a bit quicker, but are you using them for 1080p?

To be completely honest, I hadn't realized that a 4GB variant of the 760 existed. It's kinda silly now to SLI two 2GB cards when there's a 4 already out there. My primary monitor's 1650x1080, and while it's not required right now, I may go for a new monitor at some point.

If you aren't going 4K, I HIGHLY suggest this:

Best 1920x1080 monitor in my opinion. Can't get much better than 144Hz and 3D for $260.
4gb won't help you either way for anything other than 4k or multi monitor support. Especially not with the 770 since it has a limited bandwidth. If you want to do 4k or 1440p multi monitors I would recommend the 280x xfire instead. Or just a 780 or 780ti
