Will this Mobo bottleneck with the GPU for gaming?

[Jackhooks21]

Hi all. I have been doing a little bit of research and it seems like there could be some bottlenecking between the Motherboard and the Graphics Card.

Thanks in advance. Any other advice would be great as well.

No, it won't. Motherboards won't bottleneck GPUs (unless you're trying to run SLI on 2 or more high-end cards on anything less than PCIe x16 3.0).

 

[lowriderflow]

no, not at all.
that motherboard uses the same video card socket as any other z77 or z87 board the PCI-E 3.0 x16 you're fine

Other advice:
Two keyboards? Why?
Assuming you don't already have them, change the CPU to the i5-4670k and the mobo to a Z97 one.
No need for more than 2x4GB RAM for gaming.
That PSU is really nice but a bit overkill.

The reason for two keyboards is that I can't find a Mass Effect 3 keyboard anywhere. I live in Germany so getting parts is difficult and requires me to buy parts usually one at a time and I keep that there to remind myself to look once more before buying a board, just in cas. Thank you for you advice regarding the mobo.
Edit: I have a need for overkill just in case. I suffer from mild paranoia, and need to be sure this build will run new games at 50-60fps at 1080p

Yeah, that build will run anything very, very well. Of course, overkill = 'future proof' when it comes to PCs.

One last thing: The good part about Z97 motherboards is that they will support the Intel next gen (Broadwell) CPUs as well so you won't need to upgrade your motherboard even if you feel like getting a brand new i7 a year from now.

I have now upgraded to the asus maximus hero, with an Intel xeon e3-1230v3

 

[Eduello]

That board is great and that CPU has a very good performance/price ratio, just remember that you can't overclock Xeon CPUs.

I knew that but Intel CPUs aren't great for OC anyway (in my limited expeience) AMD is a little better about it, but my GPU is what my Overclocking (if I do any) will be focused on

If you don't want to OC or SLI, get this motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-h97killer

If you don't want to OC, but feel like SLI might be a possibility in the future: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-z97extreme3

The Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO is so expensive because it's awesome at overclocking, no need for it if you won't OC.
