Hey,

I know some gamers are going to shake their head at what im about to say... But honestly dont waste your time I dont care..

So Im looking to build by first PC I currently have a pre built HP desktop with a i7-4770 and gtx 760 in it that is 3 and a half years old and im looking to upgrade.

I already bought a corsair 900D because I think it looks sick lol and now for the motherboard I am thinking https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00V4V4SFC with a 6800k inside of it and 1070's in SLI

I know little about motherboards and am wondering what you would advise? To my knowledge they really dont make a huge difference to the PC so im not sure why I would spend a load of money on one when one for 150-200 would do the same?

I know someone is going to say get 1 1080 instead of 2 1070's but I think sli looks nicer and 2 1080's again just seems like a waste of money to me..

I also am thinking of using this power supply https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B015PWMT7O Any thoughts?

Theres not really a budget I make far more than I need so its abit of a luxury build but at the same time Im not planning on wasting $1650 on a 6950 lol

FYI I do plan to make a full custom water loop if that makes any difference.
