New motherboard compatibility

[Zachster1999]

Im looking for a good motherboard compatible with an i7 3.5 Intel processor and a gtx 660 (with room for a lot of upgrade (all the way to a gtx 970)

The extreme 3 is $40 cheaper

The Extreme 4 has 2 more USB 3.0 , a Esata port and a 8+4 phase power design vs 8+3

 

[Zachster1999]

I'll get the extreme 4 then

Ok anymore questions i am happy to help

 

[Zachster1999]

A 600 should be more than enough right? And if I had a different type of ram than the standard motherboard ram, is it fine?

 

[Zachster1999]

A 600 watt

Ok can you give me your PC specs i put them on pcpartpicker or you do to see the estimated wattage. If you plan on overclocking get a bigger PSU than what pcpartpicker estimates

 

[Justkeeplookin]

If you do plan on doing SLI later then you can either get the bigger PSU so you don't have to buy a new one when you need it. Or you just go with what you need now

A gtx 660, an i7 3770, a Asrock Z77 Extreme 4, one disk drive, Windows 7, 8 gigs of ddr3 ram. Need more?

 

[Justkeeplookin]

What is the specific ram brand and the amount of space on the disk.

 

[Justkeeplookin]

And a monitor?

 

[Zachster1999]

Idk what the ram is, it cam with my old computer, it's just standard Intel, as for the amount of the hdd it's 2tb

 

[Justkeeplookin]

Ok ill just use G.skill as an example. Ok thanks and size for monitor?

 

[Zachster1999]

I use my TV as monitor for now

 

[Zachster1999]

So around 30"

 

[Justkeeplookin]

Ok you should be fine with 600Watts even if you do SLI.

The reason i say that because look at this
