Hi,

building a 1080p gaming rig, hoping to make it relatively future proof in terms of upgrading it later.

Any thoughts on the build so far and more importantly can someone recommend me a decent motherboard? There seems to be A LOT of choice and I have little knowledge when it comes to motherboards...

Also given that most of the motherboards I have looked at do not have nboard wifi, con someone reccomend a good wifi solution?

Setup:
i5-4690k (Corsair H100i cooler for eventual overclocking)
R9 280X (Sapphire Vapor-X)
16Gb 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance
512GB Crucial M4 SSD (I know this is a bit old but I took it out of another machine I own)
Corsair AX860 860W PSU
Corsair 750D Case

Thanks
 
Some things i would change. If you haven't bought the R9 280X, get a GTX 970 instead. You could spend less on the PSU. 650W is enough for a single gpu.
For Crossfire and SLI, 750W should be ok.

Cheers might consider changing up to GTX 970 and down to 750W. Any motherboard suggestions?
