I'm going to uprgade my gaming rig's motherboard. I want a motherboard that has 2x pcie 2 x16 slots because I'm gonna install 2 gtx 460s. My current motherboard is an asus m2n68 am plus. I know my processor that is an athlon ii x2 240 is aging but come on, i can still use it to play games. So i want a motherboard that is also compatible for my processor.
