intel i5 4670k
MSI Nvidia GTX 760 2GB
Corsair Veangence 8GB RAM
WD 1TB HDD
Antec X1 or NZXT Phantom 410 ATX cabinet.

the catch is, i dont know which motherboard to select! there are thousands of them out there and i'm getting confused on how to choose a good one.could any of you please suggest a good motherboard under $100? and if you can, can you please suggest a good SMPS also?
thank you :)

well if you want one that supports sli then this is the cheapest one you can get it is 110 and will support a modest over clock
the psu is a tier 1 quality build that will support your setup fine

You've got a k-sku chip, so to OC it you'll need a Z87 board.

I'd pick up an ASRock Z87 Pro4 and an XFX Pro 550W.
