Hey tech gurus out there. I need help in deciding on which motherboards are great for gaming. Ideally nothing over 200, but has to have double sli. That is really my only requirement because I do not plan to overclock anything nor do I plan to have 32gb of ram. Having a built in soundcard, wifi, and bluetooth would be nice, but not necessary. Thanks in advance!

Planned parts list:
CPU: intel i7-4770k
GPU: EVGA GTX 780 SC FTW ACX
Case: Phanteks Enthoos Pro (when it releases)
Cooler: Noctua nh-d14
Storage: 1TB sata drive and 120SSD
PSU: 750watt (any suggestions?)

The mobo looks great and at a decent price point as well. That PSU though, never heard of Antec. I'm much more familiar with Seasonic and Corsair.

Since you're a power supply master does it make a huge difference between all the 80+ certifications or is it just a gimmick?
