I will just post my newegg comparison link for these motherboards. I dont kow if the HERO is the right choice for my build price wise if I am spending so much on the new 290x's

Here is my alternate build if I dont get the 290x's

Also, if I am doing SLI, would I be able to do Battlefield 4 at ultra settings on eyefinity 3 monitors with the 4gb gtx 770's?
