So, I know this is a question said a lot, but looking a Mobo with a 1151 socket or a 2011-3 socket. Only preference is must be able to take 64gb of ram, or more; and to be able to SLI either two gtx 1070 or 1080s. Now Im not going to buy both on release, just want to be future ready for just having both in like... 5 years? and I plan to have the build finished at the end this year or start of next.

Current Build (from 5/2015):

Future Build (one day):

Steam name:

It seems like SLI is useless for you. By then, selling the 1080 and get... say, a Gtx "1280" or R9 "DesperationX" or something would be a much better idea.

 

Also, may I ask why you need 64gb of RAM?

Just future proofing to the max, wanna make sure that in 10 years that I'm still on this build it is ready to go to 64. Will be putting 16-32gb at the start of the build.

Right... then figure out if you are using a 6700k or a 5820k and then we can hunt for a mobo.
