Hey guys! This will be my first pc build. Im still a little unsure of what motherboard to get, there is not many extra features that I want. I want a good reliable board that could fit another 970 in the future and that i could overlock with. If it doesn't have built in wifi would a PCI adapter be fine? The asus z97-pro is a little pricey but if it's good choice i'll stick with it.

With the power supply, should I buy a PSU that can handle 2 970s or just one for now. I prob won't even get another 970 for a while, so i dont want to get a psu with a high wattage that could damage the other parts.
Thanks for the help.

It's a really good build. But, I'll suggest getting a 1866 RAM -probably G.Skill Sniper Series 1866. and try getting an aftermarket CPU cooler. Probably Hyper 212 Evo or Hydro Series 80i and up. ANd your PSU will be fine and more than enough for the build.
