hey all,

bit stuck on my gaming build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/stormflakes/saved/YdMmP6

i would like the following on my board:
- display port ( i think i need it for future monitors, or do i? )
- sli
- mild oc
- good audio
-very good network hardware with lan priority customability

soc force seems overkill but has it all, is there a good alternative you would suggest?
do i really need displayport?

thanks for the help experts
 
Solution
If you really do need it, then you can use HDMI -> displayport adapter... but I don't think that will be a problem in a while....

good price, great features and easily handles an oc. you don't need the display port on the mobo since the video card is what you use. the mobo connectors are for using onboard video and do nothing at all when your using discrete card.

ok thanks to you...

i can't not have a great board so i will go Hero VII.
Seems i can't go wrong with that and it will make me happy for years to come.

Seems like the popular choice at the moment
