Would someone be able to suggest to me a motherboard that hold SLI graphic cards and fits an Intel i5-4690K please? I was suggest the [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] I'm no longer going with a white and black color theme so no need to get that one. What i want to do is to be able to overclock so it being a Z97 board and to do SLI.

Under 90GBP please.

The PCPP skills though xD

but yeah, Sanctyy covered your options

Sounds like you have a bad build. If you give us a budget to work with, im sure we can find you a much better upgrade path than what you where thinking of going for

Well damn, i was only asking as i though there would be a cheaper option out there, might as well stick with the Krait then. Thanks for your help.

Nope looking at £90 or so minimum for SLI support on a Z97 board.

@Xigyy- pretty sure I recommended him some upgrades a while back. He chose the 300R because he needs 3x 5.25" bays for dank LEDs and what not.

My budget for a CPU and motherboard is preferably around the 270GBP mark, can go up more. I am also planning on going SLI in the future, hence the requirements for that. I also do want to overclock my CPU too. So if you can suggest to me what to get, I actually don't need the SLI motherboard, it'll be a few months before i can start getting the parts for SLI.
