Hi,
It's my first time to build a PC. I am planning to use it for gaming and I want it to last as long as possible before having to buy a new one. I choose all the hardware I want but I can't decide on a motherboard.
I am planing to buy:
Intel Core i5-4670K
EVGA GeForce GTX760 SuperClocked
Kingston Hyper X Blu 2x4GB
I am trying to reduce the cost for the motherboard, but I don't really know what motherboard I need, I have been looking at those two motherboards:
MSI H87-G43

and
ASUS Z87-A
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132070
there is a $40 difference in price between both, but all the difference in specs I notice is that one has only one one PCI Express 3.0 x16 and the other has 2, and has also more PCI slots.
From my understanding the second PCI can be used to add another graphics card, but will I be using that? As I read that you can't combine 2 graphics card to boost the graphics in a game.
Is it worth the extra $40 on the long run? I don't wan't to end up with a bad PC just to save $40.
Do you have any affordable motherboards you recommend? And do you think I have a good CPU and graphics card combination?
Thanks in advance
