hello guys its my first actual build and my second gaming pc I bought my first off a guy anw I have 2 questions first off im holding out on the build until then new line up form nvidia and amd gpu are out but I have cash saved and sold my old pc so I have a grand total of 1500$ to spend shoul I buy now half of the components I need like processor i7 6700k and ram ex.. on black Friday or should I wait until the new pascal GPU are out and buy the whole thing later cuz in any case im gonna buy the new line up gpus to come out.
the second thing is I have no idea what so ever about motherboards I could basically figure out how the world of psu cpu and gpus works but I have no idea regarding mobos there are so many types brands variations so im basically lost. so to make it easy I want a mobo that can:
cost no more then 280 300$
supports SLI or crossfire 2 cards only
supports ddr4 ram
durable cuz in my country we have frequent power outages so to be safe I want something well made and stable
noob friendly overclocking even an auto cpu overclocking feature if such a thing exists (noob)
emphasis on sound quality cuz I use decent sterio with my pc viya aux
any recommendations and thx in advance

Well, I'm not a motherboard guy so I can't help you with that, but I feel like I need to send in my two cents. Regarding your concern with power outages, I don't think you should be relying on a good motherboard for protecting your system, since the motherboard IS the core of the system.
For that, you need a good surge protector, automatic voltage regulator, and a UPS. Some UPS already have the two previous components, so you might want to look for those.
