hello.
i kinda have a problem between picking a cpu and mobo upgrade. ive been looking for help to see what ppl recommend based on their experience and knowledge.
basically what i want is an asus mobo and intel cpu, it has to be able to handle a gtx 770 with no bottleneck, but if u guys can, i would not like to spend alot. its on a budget. like 350 to 400 max on both items. so i want a intel cpu that can handle the gtx770 but isnt soo expensive, maybe a haswell ive heard. and i want a mobo for it that is reliabe from asus and can oc with no major issues. if u guys could help me i would really appreciate it, since ive bought a mobo that i regret buying because it is bad on oc and vrm problems like blowing up.

but if u could recoomend something good and not break the bank i would highly appreciate it. ty.

Both are approved to support SLI (2xcards). I would still prefer the MAXIMUS HERO (some OC features and aesthetics), but both are great boards.

PS: No issue supporting dual 770's
