Motherboard Recommendation

[TeknicalXtacy]

Greetings,

I currently am in the process of putting some parts into a new case (case will likely be an Obsidian 650D) and was wondering if I could get a recommendation for the following:

I have GTX 680 (1) - but I would like to add SLI

8 gig Cosair Vengance 1600 RAM

i5 2500K - which I want to overclock

Can someone give me a good mobo recommendation - money is not really an object .

Thanks,

john

Do you already have these parts or are you planning on buying them?

Sabertooth

The Sabertooth is £70 worth of plastic.

Well I have:

A system I purchased from Maingear. However, I got the Cube and the small form factor will not let me overclock becuase of heat. Also, the Mobo won't do SLI.

So I have:

i5 2500k

gtx680 - reference

8gig Corsair Vengeance DDR3

660w 80+ Gold power supply

stock CPU cooler

ASUS Sonar Essence STX sound card

I want to overclock and perhaps add second GTX680 at some point. Hope this helps.

WOW. That looks great, and very inexpensive.

If you're overclocking then get rid of that stock cooler. :P

If money is not an object like with the motherboard, get a Swiftech H220.

Or go crazy and have a custom water cooling loop. :)
