Need help with upgrading my PC

[hashamkiani]

I built my computer a few months back and it has a 4670K with a asus z87k motherboard and a gigabyte 770 4gb card and 8gb vengeance RAM.

I am thinking about buying another 770 and want some suggestions on which board should i buy as the one i currently have doesn't support SLI. My price range for motherboard is about 200$. Just to give you guys the idea of prices in my country, the gigabyte GTX 770 4gb oc is ~500$ at the moment.

also the power supply i have is corsair gs700. Will it be able to run two 770s or do i have to buy a bigger PSU as well. I would also welcome suggestions on any other parts you think i should upgrade down the line to remove bottlenecks and get the max out of everything.

I would really appreciate your input and thoughts on this matter

It'll run on a 700watt probably a little close. I'd say a Msi gaming 5/7 motherboard.

You will not have to go for a new PSU. If you don't want to spend a lot on the motherboard, the MSI Z97 G55 SLI and Gigabyte GA-Z97-SLI are good choices.

OK, I have been doing a little research for the past few days. I personally have no experience with MSI, but the internet says that MSI is not good wrt quality and if possible i should go for asus. Also i live in a part of the world where warranty claim is not very easy (i just sent my GS 700 that is generating power surges and got it back after three months with a note saying that they cannot reproduce the issue. FML).

AlSo here, for 5$ more i can get a Z97 maximus 7 ranger and for 30+$ Maximus 7 hero, and again, according to the internet, ASUS is the best in quality when it comes to motherboards.

I would like to get your input as to which board should i get from the above or from the following list(except for the last one)

Tbh I'm kinda getting the feeling you WANT to get the Asus ROG mobo   It all depends on the cash you're willing to spend.

MSI and Asus are both well reputed mobo firms, it's draw of the luck to get a bad mobo from either of them. Their service both has ups and downs and people will always claim one is better than the other.

I can't say much about MSI considering I haven't had such a mobo so I'll leave that up to someone else.

But I'm very fond of my Asus ROG mobo, sure the price was a little higher compared to other mobo's but I was willing to pay that much because of the color scheme I was going for.

Their bios and software is easy to use and the motherboard has a clean and nice look. It's definitly not a wrong decision.

 

Compiled through certain Tom's Hardware answers and checking the specs: The Hero is a bit better than the Ranger, it has some extra SATA ports and a M- PCIE port. Has extra overclocking software.

Better audio. And a better power source for the microprocessor.

You'll have to decide for yourself if these extra's are worth the extra 30$ for you.
