Hello all,
I'm looking to build a new PC...first time I've done this in 10 years so things have definitely changed a bit. The computer will be used mostly for gaming, Zbrush, and Photoshop rendering.

Here's what I was looking at for parts:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770k Haswell LGA 1150

MoBo: GIGABYTE GA-G1.Sniper M5 LGA 1150

Videocard: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB (planning on having 2 of these eventually)

RAM: G.skill Trident X series CL8 (2x16GB)

Does this sound like a good combo of parts to you all? I haven't picked out a HDD or SDD yet but that'll have to be done as well.

Went with the microATX MoBo since its half the price but still allows for 2-way SLI and has all the ports I require.

thoughts?

EDIT: If you guys have any alternate suggestions too just say so..Like I said, its been forever since I built a PC so pointers/tips are appreciated!

The info Newegg has on the PSU says it is SLI compatible. Do you mean just for more power in general?
