I am looking to do a new top of the line gaming rig. I have two main concerns. 1. I need a mobo that has SLI support and RAID support(I plan to do RAID(0+1)

 

I hope to have the option to add a second 780ti to the build. However I know the PSU is not up to snuff

 

any recommendations for a new PSU or MOBO or any other comments would be awesome! thanks everyone

Get either WD Red 1TB or Seagate 7200.14. WD Blacks are loud.

The mothboard has plenty of sata ports and support software RAID. I would run 5 disks in a Raid 5. It will give you 12TB of usable space and if a drive fails it can rebuild the array. The fact the drives are under 40 dollars a TB is very good. Its also seagates new drives as well. The combination of the H100i and the 860i will allow you to use Corsair link software to monitor the H100 and your PSU, not to mention it will look good wrapped in a 750D.
 
So what type of budget are we going for?
