What sort of sub-200 dollar mobo that can support a 2-way SLI GTX 780 setup is best? I am not interested in overclocking very much. Also, my case is an Antec Three Hundred Two, it is ATX. Thanks, I have been researching this for a week now, but there are so many options with motherboards.
What sort of motherboard for 2-way SLI 780?

Depends on what platform you want to go for. I'd recommend an Asus Z87-A or ASRock Z87 Extreme3 and i5-4430 though, or an i5-4670K if you want the option to OC in the future.

What CPU are you looking at getting? (or have already?) I'm assuming you're looking for a Z87 board if we're talking about SLI 780s, and there are quite a few good options for under $200. I'd grab this one:

I have an i5 3570 3.4 gHz. Looking back I should have probably gotten something better, but I have been using this for a while now and it has been great. I currently have a GTX 650, which I would like to upgrade from to a 780. My plan is to start out with a single 780, then when something is released that the 780 can't run at ultra settings, I would get a second 780. Hopefully that won't be for a while. I am using a 1920p monitor, and the most strenuous use for my computer is Metro Last Light, and I want to be able to run that with 2x SSAA, the reason for my wanting a 780. Thanks a lot for the answers.
