Looking for a 2nd opinion

[Utilize]

Alright so I'm trying to achieve a balance between durability, noise, temps, upgradability and performance for demanding gaming (like GTA) at 1080p very high/ultra settings at 60 FPS. What do you think?

Haven't check benchmarks online but I would check if the GTX 970 can keep fps at around 60. Are you planning to add a 2nd gpu? Triple copper heatpipe CPU cooler + silver warranty for £5

I've checked and the 970 seems like the way to go for me. I chose the motherboard to keep my options open so yes, I could be adding RAM, storage and maybe even another 970 in the future.

If you are certain of adding a 2nd gpu I would push for a slightly bigger case to allow better airflow and a 750w psu.

I'm not certain and a RAM upgrade is more likely for me.

If you are not sure I would go with a cheaper motherboard and when needed replace the gpu rather than adding a 2nd one.

I had a look at the H81M Gamer but I didn't like how it only has 2 SATA 6Gb/s ports. That might just be me being picky though, perhaps it's a good idea to go with this?
