Hi guys!

I have finally recieved all the parts to my new rig. But because of a lot of changes to the shopping list down the line, i am now unsure if my motherboard is "good" enough.

The build looks like

Mobo - MSI Z77A-G45
RAM - 2x 8Gb Corsair Vengeance CL9 1600MHz
CPU - Intel Core i7-3770K (cooled with Corsair Hydro H100i)
GPU - 2x ASUS R9280X-DC2-3GD5
SSD - Samsung 840 Series EVO 250Gb
HDD - some 500Gb maxtor from my current rig
PSU - eVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2

I plan on OC'ing both the CPU and the GPU's as much as possible. Do you guys think that the MSI Z77A-G45 is capable of this?

Cheers, Lasse :)

Overclocking the GPU has nothing to do with the motherboard. And looks like a perfectly suitable board for overclocking your CPU, just so long as you monitor the voltages carefully:
