of these to motherboards which is better for a intel i7 6800k and is there any other that you would recomend thats under 350$ and it needs to have sli support as im going to be using two 1070s on it

Out of teh two, i would take the Asus, but they are both overpriced.
I would go with this: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/nW4NnQ/asus-motherboard-x99aii

Also, if you intend to overclock(and you should), you should get the 5820k. The 6800k is a poor overclocker and in no way worth the price premium.

just one more random question that has nothing to do with my upgrade
what is the reason for this 600$ motherboard?

does it overclock better have some special feature or just look ok?

Some people have too much money burning their pockets and the MB builders are more than happy to accomodate their bragging rights

ok good to know
and can you think of any others that are red and black around 350$
or do you know if i can spray paint the white on that board

 

[Hlsgsz]

If you are into that, go with the strix gaming: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/L6rcCJ/asus-motherboard-rogstrixx99gaming
It's possible to spraypaint MB parts, but I wouldn;t risk it personally. Well, i'm also not into this build theming thing. I always go for good quality parts anc couldn't give a rat's a** about coloring. My cases don't even have windows. Mate black and that's it. I spend time watching the monitor, not the case )

Look, if you have money to burn these twin monitors are widely considered to be the best gaming monitors ever made, and for good reason: they provide the perfect balance of features(34" 21:9 1440p 100Hz IPS with G-Sync)
http://pcpartpicker.com/product/WDcMnQ/acer-monitor-umcx1aa002
http://pcpartpicker.com/product/vhkwrH/asus-monitor-rogswiftpg348q

But, whatever monitor you get if/when you get it, make sure it has G-Sync.

No way! FreeSync is for AMD cards, G-sync for Nvidia. The are not compatible.
I wholeheartedly recommend that you either get a G-Sync monitor or get two RX480s to use FreeSync on you current monitor. Adaptive Sync technology is an absolute must.

good to know
thanks
i got that back when i was running a r9 280 so thats why i have it
now g-sync is what prevents screen tearing right? is it extreaming helpful in 3d modeling as well as gaming?-

 

[Hlsgsz]

Both FS anf GS only help in gaming, but they don't only prevent tearing. More importantly, they prevent stuttering, making all motion smooth.
Personally, I'm never going back to a non-adaptive sync monitor. It would be like going back to running Windows off of an HDD for me )

i see
now do you know of any good 1440p monitors with gsync under 450$
and also i dont game all that much i do more video editing and 3d modeling only games i play are minecraft terraria titanfall and shadow of mordor

 

[Hlsgsz]

Your type of work demands an IPS panel, so the cheapest panel would be aroud 700: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/rtJkcf/acer-monitor-xb270hubprz
But you could forget about the color of you MB and put the money saved towards this. Just kidding, to each his own

I must ask though, if you don;t play much and if those are the only games you play, why are you getting dual 1070s? A single one will do just fine.
Or, like i said, keep your screen and get one or two RX480s depending how they perform.

No. It doesn't support G-Sync and 25" is too small for 1440p.
Here is a list of monitors you should be looking at, if you go the Nvidia route: http://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#A=1&p=1&sort=a8&page=1

thanks so much for your help
im going to stick with the monitor i have right now and get a new one later as i cant afford a new one now over 450$ or maybe 500$ and because of my desk size 28inch max
though thanks so much for teh help

 

[Hlsgsz]

You're welcome.
I stick to my recommendation that until you can change the monitor aswell you should go with one or two RX480 for FreeSync.

just a update after seeing that the x-fire of two 480s is not much faster than two 970s i am going to get two 1070s and i did get a bit more money do you know of a g-sync monitor that is under 650$ that preferably is 144hz
