That CPU doesn't support overclocking so there's no point in getting a high-end motherboard for it. Save your money and get a cheap B75/H77 board that has all the I/O you need.

Something like this should be all you need: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Yes, but you can get a board that does what you need for much less. You can spend even less on the board if you get a 7990, which is effectively two 7970s. If you really want the most for your money, I'd strongly consider waiting for AMD to release their new generation of cards.
