Lol, recently when I switched my PSU I was really confused with connectors, I had three 6+2 connectors and it wasn't obvious which one is for motherboard and which for GPU. I remember it was way easier with other PSU to find out what is what.
Is it possible that I'm using the wrong connectors? I did plug in 8+6 (8-2 connector), but there's more than one pair of PCI-e connectors.
I'm not sure whether onboard GPU is on the MB or CPU but either way, if the problem was caused by a faulty CPU, it would still be happening after you removed the graphics card.
I'm using an Asus Z97-A, which is pretty good but you could save a bit going for the next one down (-P) if it has all the features you need. That's what I used for my sister's recent build but the 4-stage VRM will probably limit the amount you could OC an i5-4670k.
As for the PCI-E connectors, as long as they say PCI-E (or maybe VGA, as mine say) on them then I think it shouldn't matter what pair you use.

I did the first, it just delays the crash for an hour or so. How do know what the card's ID is?
I used Powermizer Switch and hadn't experienced a crash while running on max video settings for an hour, though I could have just prolonged the time until it crashes.
Just keep an eye on the temperature of the GPU. Maybe you can use that tool only before you start play games because you don't need 3D speed when you on desktop or browsing.
P.S.
I told you to do it for more than a month ... at least you got a new graphics cardÂ

Got around to that, looks like it is my mobo. Ran ArmA with my HDD and 770 in another computer for 2 hrs and no crash. Also my mobo didnt detect the GPU from the other computer either, so looks like it is going dead or at least the PCIE slots are.
