I am having some trouble deciding what mobo I should get. This is my build so far:

CPU: Intel i7-4770K
Mobo: ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO (TBD)
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB DDR3 2133
CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB & WD Black 1 TB
GPU: XFX Double D Radeon HD 7950 Black Edition 3GB X 2
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W
Optical: ASUS 24X DVD Burner
Case: CM Storm Enforcer

So my main concern with the hero is that it has two PCIe 3.0 slots but they can only be one x16 or two x8. Will this be noticeable with my two GPUs? What would be a good mobo to get that will work best for me. I plan to do some OC but nothing crazy. It would be nice to stay around $200 but I can go up some if the mobo is worth it.

It is very good choice and the one I would get at that price point! The PCIe slots are a none issue like on majority of boards http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Ivy_Bridge_PCI...
