http://www.outletpc.com/vg8274-msi-z87-g43-gaming-intel-motherboard.html or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128681

 

if neither could someone recommend something on newegg thats good and cheap? i did my build list from pc partpicker and the motherboard was the only thing from outletpc.com so id rather grab something from newegg or ncix so its all shipped from like two places instead of spreading out my order

 

also right now i will be going with a 780 and will be buying another one soon so it needs to support two way SLI

id get the gigabyte because it is black and green there both great boards neither is better than the other choose whatever one u think looks good.

 

edit: also i dont like motherboards that have lagacy pci which the msi does have and the gigabyte doesnt i just think it looks better and gives u better expand ability.

ok, i just want to make sure it can easily support two way sli as the specs on newegg only mention crossfire. 

 

or if anyone else has any other suggestions for a different board

Does the gigabyte one even support it? it only mentions crossfire in the specs? 

Yes. http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/gigabyte_g1_sniper_z5s_and_g1_sniper_z5_gaming_motherboards.html

 

But both cards will run at 8x/8x speeds if you do SLI, which you won't really notice.

The Z87-A is a nice good board imo that supports SLI if you don't mind their color scheme. :)
