Is Gigabyte Z87X-D3H a good motherboard?

[asim1999]

Saw a decent gaming PC with a 780 Ti and i7 4770K with 16GB 1866mhz corsair RAM. It came with this motherboard. Saw that it has plenty of USB 3 ports and dual GPU SLI/Crossfire support.
Is this a good mobo cos u am gonna overlock the i7 to 4ghz in the future and add a second 780 Ti in a couple of years.
What do u guys think?

Hell yeah, its a great motherboard, I have the lower class version (GIGABYTE Z87-HD3) and I run my i7 at 4.5GHz just fine.

Although I recommend you get a beefy PSU if you are going to have 2 GPU's.

If you're going for the Z87X-D3H and want to SLi/Crossfire it later down the line just remember you will need a case with at least 5 rear panel slots as the motherboard supports graphics cards is slots 1 and 4. Personally, I went with the Z87MX-D3H as this supports graphics cards in slots 1 and 3 and will fit into 4 slot cases. However, my Z87MX-D3H runs the problem that it restricts airflow to the card in slot 1 when a 2nd card is installed. Your Z87X-D3H won't run the same problem as it forces a slot space between the cards.

Should also say my i7 is overclocked to 4.2GHz, I could push it further but don't feel comfortable just now as I'm about to change cases to get a better airflow.
