Building a New Gaming PC and need Help!?

[Tiearian]

So I'm looking to build a new PC and I need some help selecting a MotherBoard and PSU.

So far I have:
CPU - Intel i7-4770k
Video Card - EVGA GTX 770 4gb (04G-P4-3778-KR)
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (F3-10666CL9D-16GBXL)
Storage - Intel 530 Series 240GB (SSDSC2BW240A4K5)

What I think I need:
Motherboard - ASUS Z87-PRO
PSU - Corsair AX860 (CP-9020044-NA)

Question 1: Now I've heard good things about the Gigabyte Motherboards... Any Suggestions towards Asus vs Gigabyte, or another MB in general?

Question 2: I've also heard that Cooler Master v850 is comparable to the Corsair AX860, and in someways better. Though I am unsure, and that's why I'm here.

If anyone has any alteration I should make to my build please bring it forth. Though supporting evidence would be nice to anything brought to the table.

You dont really need the ax860. You can just get the corsair rm850 or even the rm750. Also for the motherboard, I would go with ASRock Extreme 6, Gigabyte UDH3 I think it is or the MSI GD65. Also for the storage, get a cheaper ~250gb ssd. Go for one by kingston, a data, samsung, etc. I mean that get a cheaper ssd. Also get a 1 tb hard drive. Also there really isnt much difference between the 770 2gb and 4gb. Try to get a 780 and if you cant go with a 2gb 770 or a r9 280x. Your welcome

I'll check out those boards now.

As for the video card, It needs to be Nvidia. I'm using 3D Vision on my current system. I chose the 4gb, cause I want no issues maxing out any game with any ENB series, even with Crysis 3 (just as a benchmark [game sucks lol]) And going down $30 from the 4gb 770 to a 2gb 780, I'm actually loosing clock speed as well as memory, thus making it near impossible to max out Crysis 3 with ENB. (with good frames in 3D)

Also on a side note, I chose a higher PSU because I will most likely being going SLI in the future, and getting another 770 GTX 4gb. I want Tier 1 PSU, so there are no issues.

As for the Intel SSD, Where I live its onsale for $40 off atm, so for $20 more, I'm getting a 5 yr manufacture warranty. Also I have 2, 3tb HDD for additional space.
