Hi! I'm building a gaming PC and I have the choice between two ASrock motherboards. I'm curious which is better for my needs, since they are both in the same price range.
My real needs are:
-Stable overclockability in the future for both CPU and GPU
-The ability to crossfire a second GPU (I'm either getting the 7870 XT or 7950, if that matters)
Now, the two motherboards are the 990FX Extreme3 and the 970 Extreme4. The links are:
Extreme3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157281&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
Extreme4: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157262&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
Can you please tell me which is better and why? Also is the Extreme3 worth the extra money? My processor has a combo deal with the Extreme4 which makes the Extreme4 only 79.99 and the Extreme3 104.99.
Thanks so much!
