I bought a MSI Z77A-G41 with I5 3750 combo for $188 during black friday.
I also bought a MSI Mpower board for $100.

I am thinking about keeping the combo and returning the Mpower or use the Mpower with the I5 and just sell the G41 since I can not return just the G41 for it is part of the combo deal.

I have a seasonic 760 plat PSU and Sapphire 6850
I am thinking about purchasing another 6850 to crossfire so that is something important to note.

Any thoughts or advice?
Thanks in advance!

G41 is not good for CF because second pcie express slot is only 2.0 16 x4 ...

M - power is better option for both CF and overclocking your K processor...

crossfire of those cards is not worth it ...
buy new and more powerfull video card : gtx760/amd270x
M-power is much better motherboard ,
especially for overclocking but 3570 has locked multiplier so it doesn´t really matter ...
you would need 3570K to use full potential of M-power board...

Oh right it came with the 3570k. Ooops forgot to add that K in there haha.
I can get a used 6850 for cheap now though that is why I am thinking of just crossfiring it.
I do intend to oc just a tad. Nothing too crazy because I am not going to water cool it.
Any idea which mobo would be better crossfire if I do go that route?
