Hi
I'm building myself a gaming system, that also will need to handle Photoshop etc. and I want to play around with overclocking.

I started collecting some of the parts like case Ssd and a video card (corsair 230t, sandisk ultra +, Asus GTX 770)

I'm going to get i7 4770K, and in a couple of months I'm going to get another gtx 770 for sli

Now I'm looking at the rest of components, and the biggest issue I have is choosing a motherboard. I have 3 saved, and I'm not sure which to choos. MSI GD65, MSI G55, and GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD3H

I'm looking for best performance, hopefully under 150, but I don't want to spend more than 200~ $

If you have better suggestions, please let me know


Thanks in advanced

I would go for the Gigabyte board out of those 3. It's a very solid board at that price range.
Another good alternative is the Asus Maximus VI Hero. It has been around the $200 mark so it 'might' fit your budget.

If you do plan on SLI get a 850-1000W PSU from a reputable manufacturer. Antec, Corsair, Seasonic or XFX.
