Recomend a ATX motherboard (SATA II) to me please
Hi...
I am moving out of the US to a 3rd world country and would like to build a fast computer to bring with me when I go.
I would like some motherboard suggestions please. I want a full sized ATX motherboard. My big case has a lot of room for fans.
I already have a new, big, full sized desktop case that will take a full sized ATX motherboard. I was looking at this Intel motherboard:
Intel BOXDZ87KLT75K -LGA1150 Intel Z87 Chipset SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0
I want a SATA II motherboard, some USB 3.0 connectors, and I would rather have more then two full sized PCIe-3 slots. I also would like some more PCI slots.
I am going to populate my motherboard with two Nvidia GTX 980 video cards tied together. Now I am out of full sized PCI-e 3.0 slots if I use the above Intel motherboard. I work on 2K and now 4K motion picture film and digital files. So I hope to make a RAID array with two SS drives. I am thinking RAID 0 array, but I have yet to make up my mind. But I need more PCIe-3 slots for some Blackmagic cards for my software.
Dose the above Intel motherboard have the ability to hook it self up to side board that has more PCIe-3 slots?
I use PC Power and Cooling power supplies. I have been using them since before the web was invented when all we had were dial up BBSs. I have never had a PC Power and Cooling power supply fail on me.
I like the Corsair Liquid CPU Cooler, and will use that on my CPU, but the video cards will be cooled with additional fans. I like a big roomy box that I can keep cooler.
I kind of like Intel motherboards, but they seem to not offer me what I need. I prefer a Intel CPU, but I can be talked into a AMD CPU. As long as the AMD CPU and motherboard is happy with my Nvidia GTX-980 video cards, that is my one requirement.
I am looking at a Intel Core i7-5960X Haswell-E 8-Core 3.0GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W Desktop Processor.
But I need to build to my motherboard. And I could use some help. I believe the intel motherboard I have chosen dose not have enough expansion slots for me.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
