i am building a high end 4k gaming pc. here is my config

g.skill ripjaws 2666mhz 32gb 8x4 DDR4
3-way msi gtx 970 sli
corsair RM-1000 watt psu

Hi,
Thanks for quick answer I have one more question...(this one is slighly noobish), are you refering to:
Asus X99-A Intel Haswell Extreme ATX Motherboard
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-x99-a-intel-x99-s-2011-3-ddr4-sata-iii-6gb-s-satae-m2-pcie-pcie-30-(x16)-3-way-sli-crossfire-us
or to
Asus X99-A/USB3.1 Haswell Extreme ATX Motherboard
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-x99-a-usb31-intel-x99-s-2011-3-ddr4-sata3-satae-pcie-30-(x16)-m2-pcie-3-way-sli-crossfire-usb-3
Or are they pretty much the same (PCI speed wise)?
