Hey guys, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and motherboard some time in the near future.

I currently have an i5 760 and I want to upgrade to something much more powerful. I also need a motherboard with two PCI-e gpu slots, I have one gtx680 now but I would like to SLI down the road.

It seems like the 3770k is the most powerful option but I don't know. I'd like to keep the price down to around 400-450 max for the mobo+cpu so if anyone has any suggestions?
