I was wondering if a mobo like this would work for a budget build with just 1 7770 http://www.amazon.com/M5A78L-M-LX-PLUS-Micro-Motherboard/dp/B005WUUFBW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379029745&sr=8-1&keywords=ASUS+M5A78L-M+LX+PLUS+AM3%2B+AMD+760G+Micro+ATX+AMD+Motherboard In alternitive If I get the money, I will pick up another 7770 and put it in crossfire http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130637 You guys are probablyy thinking, why crossfire mid ranged cards.. I already got a 770 from a friend and want to get more gpu power.. anyway thanks!

I highly recommend against CFXing two 7770s. Just get a single 7870 GHz or 7950. The rule in computers is to buy the most expensive card you can, so that you will be able to CFX later.
As for the motherboards, DiaSin is wrong. That motherboard is a perfectly viable option for your CPU, and widely used, option for your CPU. However, a 990FX compared to 970 chipset will provide you with a bit more OCing potential.

I apologize if I gave bad advice, I was going off of what the pages I saw when I looked up the mobo said, none of them listed support for FX-series CPUs.
