I have a c70 Corsair Vengeance case,
i5 4670k,
plan on getting a 280x radeon.
I plan to get a second card and a better CPU overclocking fan. So what (in Canada) motherboard will do all that I want now and in the neer future.
Obviously a gaming PC (ram and SSD info also sought for current build)

you could go with a z87 however it might be better to go with a z97 to future proof since it supports next gen cpus.

the asus z87-a or z97-a are good choices if you are on a lower budget. if you have more of a budget it might be worth looking into the asus hero vi (z87) or vii (z97) or perhaps the sabertooth models (though the dust shield is a bad idea). if you have even less of a budget then you could get away with an asrock board like an extreme 4 however my preference would be for an asus.

as far as an ssd is concerned... look into a 120gb (or 250gb preferrable) samsung 840 evo. i will not trust anything but samsung or intel for my ssds.

as far as ram is concerned, gskill ripjaws typically has good performance for the dollar. they have 2133mhz cas9 out now though that requires 1.6v power (normal is 1.5v) so you would need to check if the motherboard can support that if you want the best timings.otherwise at bare minimum i would say get 1600mhz/cas9 (cas 8 preferred) or 1866/9. corsair is also a good brand of memory. most of them should be in the range of $72-76 for a 2x4gb kit.
