It seems my motherboard is faulty so I need to find a new one. I've a i7 4930K CPU and 32GB of ram. I need room for my GPU and room for another in the future and a raid card and one more slot so 4 PCIe slots as a minimum. I would like to be able to over clock a little but it's not something I'll push or spend lot of time at. This is a PC for editing and colour work. The board that is failing now is part of the fist build or the first PC i ever had and I built it 10 months ago so I don't know much about this. I have seen things like PCpart picker but was wondering if anyone had any advice beyond just this list.
i7 4930K
Asus P9X79 WS
Corsair AX860i
Corsair H100i
Crucial 240GB SSD for OS and Programs
2 x 3TB HDD in RAID0 on the on-board Marvell controller for the media drive
1 x 4TB HDD a mirror back up of Media on the RAID and backup of system image and such
32GB of Kingston HyperX Beast RAM
Pailt GTX780 super Jetstream.

I have my I7 4930K in an Asus X-79 Deluxe, which is a very nice mobo. But, in the meantime I have very bad experience with ASUS RMA of my GPU ( google them), so I would buy another brand...
