-Great overclocking potential.
-Made sure the RAM was red to match with the motherboard.


Some will say that SLI 770 is overkill for 1080p. You will want to SLI it though to fully utilize the 144hz. Though it does depend on the games you play. My recommendation, stick with one first and try playing games. If you're not fully getting the 144fps, and you would like the extra fps, the SLI the 770.
