So i'm planning on building a gaming rig. Here are my components:

Case: Corsair C70 Military Green
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Hero
CPU Cooler: H100i
CPU: Intel Haswell i7 4770k
GPU: GTX 780 (EVGA)
RAM: Kingston Hyperx Beast 16gb 2400Mhz
PSU: Corsair Hx850W
SSD: Kingston Hyperx 120gb
HDD: Seagate 3tb
Mouse: Razer Naga MMO
Keyboard: Corsair K90

Can you please recommend me a motherboard that is overclockable with i7 4770k and Gtx 780. I chose Maximus VI Hero as a start but i'm still not sure.

The Asus Sabertooth Z87 is an awesome mobo, I have it and highly recommend it, Got 4.60GHZ stable and could push it to 4.80GHZ when I delid the 4770K

I would go for a Hero or Sabertooth.

What is your budget mate and the requirments of your board??

The M6G is a great board as is the Gigabyte OC. With your hardware I would look to these type of board that have been fine tuned for high end components. the Sabretooth although decent doe snot have the hardwrae or bios support. The Hero is full ATX but a cut down ROG Bios means you don't get the Full ROG experience. Its still a good board though but not the Gene.
