ASUS Z97-A,Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming GT,ASUS Maximus VII Hero.
That PSU is overpriced.Get an EVGA SuperNOVA G2 850W so you are SLI and OC ready.

You will need a z97 based mobo, from asus, gigabyte, or asrock then IMO.

Honestly you can't go wrong, just look at the features. You are going to want a mobo that supports at least 8x/8x pcie slots.

Also make sure to look at cpu power phases. You are going to overclock correct?

8gb 1600 ddr3 is all you need for gaming, save the money nab an SSD.


For $2200 you should be looking at DUAL gtx 970's. Especially since you want that 144Hz monitor.

Bump up the psu to a 850w unit, xfx, corsair ( NON cx model ), EVGA, seasonic units.
