Sig Rig, think I'm bandwidth restricted with PCI Lanes on the GD-65 Z87 with 290 trifire. Any recommendations for good OC Z87 mobo with PLX chip. Not sure if it will make a difference but 4770k at 4.7ghz is as fast as I can get with Arma 3 so need to free up those PCIe lanes.

I know when AT did a test on these almost two years ago the Gigabyte Sniper was the best board of the bunch. I have no doubt that it would still be a very good line to go with.

What you need there is a Haswell-E. Bandwidth restricted you will always be because between Haswell and the PLX Chip you would still have 16 PCIe lanes to feed 3 high end Video Cards.

Just point me to where I can buy a Haswell E and I'll be flying. Thanks for the tip.
