I'm finally getting around to building a PC for my Oculus Rift. I was trying to keep the price below $1,000 but I also wanted to make it a bit future-proof. I know the watts on the PSU could be higher, but I'd be open to upgrading that down the road if I decide to overclock or SLI another 1070.

Any comparably priced suggestions for the motherboard? I want to make sure there are plenty of USB ports since I know the Rift requires at least 3 and I'll be using a wireless mouse and keyboard as well.

Any suggestions appreciated!
