I already have the 7870 xt and it is pretty big. The slots on this mobo look close together to fit both, but will it? I don't plan on having to put crossfire for at least a year or two? Will it be tough to find this GPU in that time?

I put two GPU's in for the future watts needed and fond this PSU to be a good price ATM.
I was looking at a 3570k build but not to fond of OC'ing if I don't have to.

Oh cool, didn't know PSU's needed crossfire abilities. Learn something new everyday.

Psu is weaker than I would use but may work. Bump it up to the 700-750 watt just to be safe. Psu is not something you want to cut corners on. I did that once and had to go without a pc for a week plus had to spend even more money. And yeah the motherboard will work.
