    No need in such an expensive board with a non overclockable chip.

    Amazon, mindfactory and computer universe are all used here for parts too

    I was choosing that motherboard to keep my options open to getting another gtx 970 and using SLI, but that might be a bit far winded as i don't even intend to overclock the rig. What motherboard would you recommend? Given that i'll be getting DDR4 ram and the socket LGA1151?

    Does that one have 2 x16 or x8 slots? Just looked at a few cheaper ones but they only had an x16 an x4, so you might he to get a Z710 for your needs
