Does anyone think this would be fine running an mATX intell motherboard: i74770 and two GTX780's in SLI?im running an 850 but scared to run a 760.

The only issue you may run into is if you want to stay in peak efficiency, which is usually around 50% give or take. Also note that running multiple(3+ probably) hard drives adds up on the wattage used too.

It will, no problem, I had a similar setup with a i7-4790k, no issues whatsoever.

While your mobo supports PCI-E 2 for the video card and the GTX 760 is PCI-E 3 card, it is fact backwards compatible. I have an older Asus mobo that also has a PCI-E 2 slot for the video card and this card works just fine. You probably won't get the most out of your card until you upgrade your mobo. Regardless this card was a huge boost in graphics compared to my old ATI 6870.

I might work, not sure about the on board Graphic being AMD if that will make a difference. Sure you can shut the on board graphics off in bios. If I where really you, I would go with a 760 or 770 if it's in your price range. They even got out a 750 ti boost that is a great card, but I would go with a 760 or higher if it would work on your board. Could ask Evga. I have 2 of those 660 FTW sig 2 GPU's 2-way SLi. They preform great but even I want to upgrade here soon. Hope this helps in some way.

I have an i7 3770 and was going great with this motherboard. It has everything to be considered an excellent motherboard. The only thing it does not have wifi, but nothing, I solved buying an adapter.

I am not sure about the GTX 760, now with that said I am running a GTX560TI just fine with now issues. My motherboard is a Asus Maximu 4 extream (16gigs of ram), runs my rig with no issues.

The motherboard itself has 2 video card slots, the space between is tight, but SLI could work. Updrade the power supply.

Also, the 750's are not SLI compatible. So regardless of which motherboard is being used you will be unable to SLI any of the 750 style GPU's

Yes, I'm running an i7-2600K OC'd to 4G, with 2 Sapphire 7770's in crossfire and 3HD's and 2 SSD's, but u need to calculate your total load to see if this is big enough. I have not had any problems. I am not a heavy gamer, so can't comment on how it will do for gaming.

I used a 700 watt Seasonic 80 plus. I had a a FX 6300 in a Gigabyte z71 I believe. I love the case. Lots of room. What kind of video card are you planning getting. I had 2 Gtx 550ti in sli my 700 ran perfect.

I've been using it for over a year, and I currently have a Intel i7 and a GTX-650 in the board. So, not super high-end yet, but looking at the power requirements for higher end cards (at least a Quadro K5000 sli'd with a Tesla K20), it'll be plenty. Oh yeah, I also have 4 hard drives in there, and a couple of peripherials that's starting to err on excessive.

It depends on what kind of GPUs you'll be using. I tried to push two GTX 780's, and it wasn't enough for benchmarking. It ran for regular games, but you really want more headroom so you're not pushing your power supply so hard.

Hi Jordan. A safe bet, in my opinion, would be a 600-650 watt rating on your power supply unit (PSU). That should handle an overclocked GPU, plus the needs of any CPU you might have installed, along with the usual memory configurations (8 to 16 GB), an optical drive, and several hard drives (including a mix of solid state and conventional drives). You should have power to spare. However, if you think you might want to run a dual-SLI card configuration, then I would go with an 850-watt PSU like those available from Corsair and other reputable vendors. A second card will draw roughly 170-200 watts by itself under load, BTW. Hope this helps.

SLI compatable so you should be fine but if you are going to be superclocking I would put more of an investment into your motherboard, it is what's going to be tying you components together and is arguably your most crucial component outside of your cpu and if it gets damaged it's the most painstaking to replace. So are you willing to circuit so much power through a mid range model or through a higher end model. I suggest the latter

Yes this i have a gtx 780 on this motherboard works like it should no sli only crossfire

I was running an Antec 850W and it was fine. But, when I bought another card to run in Sli, I had to bump it up to over 1000W. I think it will all depend on what else you are running.

The motherboard supports 16x/16x SLI or Crossfire and quad 8x mode for quad SLI/Crossfire. The only limitation of being able to handle multiple video cards will be your Power Supply if you run cards that are power hungry. Having different cards controlling different displays is something Windows controls. Also many cards these days come with multiple video out ports so you can drive more than one display off a single card. As with all motherboards there is a option to select which display adapter as your primary boot display. This won't affect things once it gets to Windows. ASrock is pretty responsive, you can contact them if you must, but this feature has been around for well over a decade now. It'll work.

I believe this power supply can handle maybe just a 2 GTX 760's in a SLI for this particular card probably not a 3 way, my reason of saying this is due to the fact that the GTX 760 Minimum Recommended System Power is 500 watts, if you're going to go with a 3 way SLI try buying a higher watt power supply to be safe, one that is certified for a 3 way SLI and over, here is the power requirement info from the card manufacture them self's http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-760/specifications , well I hope this helps you out with you're question. =]
