In anticipation of the r9 290 x availability close upon us and my desire to try this card out, I figured it was time to shop for the motherboard and cpu. I dont know if my search skills have failed me or what but I have not been able to find an AMD motherboard that supports pci express 3.0. and the motherboard I had planned to get, looks like it isnt compatible with the vishera 8350 cpu without being upgraded. So Im desperately looking for suggestions on motherboard/cpu combo that will power, work well, and compatible with the r9 290x card. This is my first time going with radeon so my knowledge is very lacking. I have plenty of power 1.3 tw, and 16 gig of 19200 ram.
Or am I looking at this all wrong and am I wasting time with AMD anymore? Ive always ran AMD but seems intel has the better chunk of publicity when it comes to mb/cpu power.
