Could someone recommend a motherboard

[Matthew Cameron]

Hello everyone,

Here is the deal, I have no experience in custom building and this is my first time. I believe I have everything except the motherboard and I am looking for something that I can overclock quite alot with.

I do not have an allocated budget for my mobo either.

My current parts are here:

this is a nicely priced Bobo: MSI z87-GD65 Gaming

on a side note: why not get this GPU? EVGA GeForce GTX780 SuperClocked w/EVGA ACX Cooler 3GB GDDR5 384bit.... it is $10 cheaper and SuperClocked (check the sweet reviews on amazon too).

Thanks for the reply,

How does a mobo such as the asus IV hero compare to this, like I said I am looking into overclocking and the asus brand is constantly recommended.

What do you think? It has to have great overclocking potential and be able to support at LEAST 3 cards in SLI.

Cheers,
Matt

sorry for the late reply.

this asus is great, and about $100 more. the MSI has everything you'll need to OC.
i would spend that 100 on a better GPU, or CPU if you like.
