Hi everyone

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I have been planning a new build for the past few days, and would really appreciate your opinions on it as I respect your knowledge on this forum. If you see a compatibility problem between the parts or know of a better component for roughly the same price, I would appreciate it immensely.

This build is mainly a gaming pc @ 1080P, So here goes:

Case: Fractal Design Define R2 XL
(I was going for the R4 but there is an incredible shortage in my country - South Africa)
CPU: Intel I5 4670k
GPU: EVGA GTX 780 Superclocked ACX
Motherboard: AsRock Z87 Extreme4
RAM: G.Skill 2x4GB 1600Mhz
HDD: Still have 2TB 7200RPM Seagate from my current build
PSU: SeaSonic M12II 750W

(The reason for the 750w PSU is so that I can sli two GTX 780 somewhere in the future when it becomes necessary, and this psu should be enough as far as I understand?)

I do have a question on the mobo. Does it support x16/x8 or x8/x8 two way sli?
Also, anyone know the cable lengths of the PSU? I have read on other forums that sometimes people have problems with the R2 XL case and certain PSU cable lengths.

Thanks a lot for your opinions
