Pondering some choices, help me out, what would you do?

Asus RoG Hero or Formula? Worth $100 more, may never SLI or really use the features on the Formula since I don't need or want wireless with a hard line 1 gigabit connection. Not really sure what else I will gain. Have a Fractal R4 case, so the Hero will look tiny in it.

EVGA Classified 780 vs 780Ti Ref cooler vs waiting on 780Ti ACX cooler or 780Ti Classified? More likely to eventually SLI the 780 than the Ti's...

Z87? I would go with something like the Asrock Fatality. Its supposed to be a pretty nice board and its only $120 on newegg.

Well theres a $200 difference in the two cards. I'll just leave that there.

My friend has the Z77 Fatality and loves it. I was pretty set on getting it but I ended up getting a hell of a combo deal at MC on the Extreme6.

IDK about purchasing a board nicknamed Fatality. Sounds like it might die.

ASRock makes some of the best boards.

ASUS
ASRock
MSI

Only 3 Intel boards I would purchase.

1. Don't buy a Classy/Lightning if you don't plan to OC. Games have a hard time running @ 1189MHz as it is, much less 1202+.

Ref 780Ti over Classy 780

2. 780Ti with ACX cooler vs Ref

3. You game @ 1080 or 1440? If just 1080 buy 2x780s for SLi. That is well enough for 1080.

Ditto. I've had ASRock for several years now with no problems out of any of my boards.

Yeah, mantle will be implemented in a patch sometime in December. If both sides get mantle and g-sync, that would be an epic win for us gamers.

PhysX and TressFX give me more erections over a period of time.

EoT = Erections over Time

Purchased...now to make a decision on the mobo. I am still really leaning toward the hero. Great onboard sound, not really sure if it is worth the upgrade to formula.
