What motherboard is better?

[Laxer17]

I plan on building a 2000 vfx build that's fantastic at rendering. 

I want a 1tb ssd, cpu over 4 cores, 32gb of high speed ram, and the h440.

Here are 2 options I came up with but both mobos I have had decent reviews.

I want one that is very stable and enough if I wanted to go SLI and have 64gb ram upgrade in the future.

Krait, it's cheaper and it's a good mobo.

I've always liked ASUS boards, never had a single issue with them, ever.

 

If you're planning on going SLI in the future, then it may be worthwhile to get a beefier PSU now, 750W or so. That CPU can be pretty power hungry if you push it, add 2 GPUs to that...

expect the fact that asus support is ass

You'll definitely need a beefier psu. Other than that, I'd look at what others are saying, I'm not too good with Mobo shopping, if it works, I buy it.

Do you think the PSU is okay for now? Since it's fully modular it shouldn't be way to hard to upgrade right? I can just unplug and put the cables in when I get a better GPU and PSU?

Why waste money on getting a lower wattage PSU if you know you're going to upgrade it anyways? You can't plug more wires in to get more wattage, if you're going to run 2 graphics cards, you would have to replace the power supply as a whole.

Okay thanks! I heard on TechQuickie though if you get a crazy high wattage PSU that isn't necessary it could be bad though?

I don't mean something crazy like a 1000 watt, just something more than your 550 watt. with your demanding cpu and somewhat demanding gpu, and your overall high-end tech, a 650-750 watt would be best.
