Nvidia SLI Advice and insight badly needed

[Benevlan]

You can't get new SLI boards for $100, and since you're on a dead platform, it will be harder to find one that's a good value at all. Buying used is probably your only option.

I'd very much prefer not buying anything used. The MOBO doesn't have to be spectacular or even decent, it just needs to be able to run SLI. Forget the price range I posted earlier and please just list me any bare bones MOBO that will get the job done

I recommend this mobo for LGA1155. It is definitely capable of SLI (PCI-E 3.0 @ 8x/8x). Additionally it is proven to be a very good overclocker for your i7-2600K.

This ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 is literally the only socket 1155 motherboard still available that supports SLI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157293

If this is the way you want to go, don't count on it being around that much longer.

As others have suggested, a better path is to sell your 760s and buy a 970. The overall cost will be the same, since you can actually get something for the 760s. Your current motherboard, on the other hand, has no value. And the 970 will provide a better overall experience than 760 SLI.

Not to mention that the upgrade process will be infinitely easier switching out the video cards than switching out the motherboards.

The downside is that it will take some time to sell your 760s but if you do manage to sell them, it will definitely be the easier upgrade path compared to replacing the entire mobo.
