After seeing so many reviews and build log i found out that making an ITX build will be interesting

What i wanna ask is, is there any performace decrease because of small mobo? Lets say we compare it with the same hardware i7 4770 and GTX 780 which i have now. Will it be any performance difference if i use itx mobo?

depends on how much you want to spend.  my maximus impact is literally the shrunk down version of the maximus hero, but it wasn't cheap

 

there shouldn't be any difference in speed

You might be limited on some features, but all boards do not affect performance.

There will be absolutely no performance decrease what so ever unless you have a bottleneck with your chip set or something. I've never seen anything like that happen, but that's what would be the problem if there was performance decrease. BTW: Watch Linus' 18 core xeon and Titan X in a shoe box; he slaps a titan x on an itx mobo, and the performance is over the top.

Your more likley to be using a 4790K, which i have alongside an R9 290 in M itx. You'll be just fine. M itx masterace!

 

hhmmm..what if i use a GPU that has dual processor such as titan Z or R9 295X2? there wont be any PCIe problem right?

So it will be 8x 8x per GPU then?

It depends what motherboard.

yep as its going in a 16x slot. No mater the mobo dual gpu cards can never supply each gpu with 16 lanes as the slot is 16x.

 

As far as I know no consumer card can max out gen 3 16x or even really 8x so you will not suffer. Only compute cards really need the full bandwidth.
