Looking for MoBo for build + GFX Card Comparison

[Fromwithin]

Hello there,
I have been setting up this build for a few days, and I'm just making some final tweaks to it, and I would really enjoy some fresh insight on a few things!

Okay so first things first, here's what I have the build as so far:
http://gyazo.com/3e924d96eafaaaf48c2b290de949748a
And the +$200 for the i5 4690k from MicroCenter

I am stuck between which motherboard to get for this build, I honestly don't have that much of an idea. I'd prefer it be black/blue or all black.

I also don't know for Dual monitor 1080p gaming which GFX card would be better for my budget, as the 780 is stretching my budget a bit too far for my liking. I'd much rather go with a 770 I think. What would be other options for around the Gtx 770s price, or is that the best in that price range?

You won't be able to run games on dual monitor at max settings, on a 770 you can run ultr on one monitor, but not 2, for teh same price you can check out the r9 290's? They offer gtx 780 performance nearly but at a 770 price

okay, Also, this is a dumb question, but I've never had multiple displays for gaming, only browsing etc.

I mean I'm only planning on running the game on my main monitor 1080p, how much is just having the other monitor displaying other things like reddit/stream and things while having lets say BF4 on my main display?

And this is probably too in-depth of a question, but also what are the pros/cons of each 290 vs the 770? Like you said 290 is a bit better performance for a little bit more, thanks for your time and input by the way! I really appreciate it!

Ermmm, if you aren't playing a game on another monitor then a 770 will still hit ultra on the single monitor, and errmmm... I'll just tell you the pros and cons in general
r9 290's are quite cheap and offer similar performance to the 780 at a cheaper price, but they release large amounts of heat, depending on what model you get and also black screen issus are a common sight on these forums with a 290, they are also very power hungry. But a 770 is more power efficient, and they tend to be quieter and more cool, Both the cards can run ultra on any game, just depends on what you want
