Yes it is the cheapest oc board in the market right now. At only $159 just the board alone. But take note the board does not support sli. Only xfire.

And no it will not bottleneck the GPU.

If you wanna have os and odd. Can drop the gigabyte gtx760 variant to palit gtx 760 variant + seasonic s12 520w bundle at tradepac for $410

Total should be $1416 inclusive os and odd. If you want cheaper drop the 2 tb to 1tb HDD. Can save about $40. Ask for discount.
