I read that this board does not have a PLX chip that gives you enough lanes to support 2 graphics cards I was thinking of getting another gtx 770 if there is a sale on them and i can get one cheap enough if not i will wait and buy something down the road. I know this MB is SLI and CFX certified but according to a video i saw on this board it will not have enough PCI-E lanes for two GPU's...is this right or am I able to get another card in there???

2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8) *3
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black)
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 *4
2 x PCI

Those are the specs. PLX chips are just to enable x16 x16 xfire. WHich is not necessary for SLI.
x8x8 is more than good enough. Get another card if you PSU is good enough.

Good to know I thought that is how the z77 chipset was........So i can get 8x and 8x if I get a gpu in SLI. I might upgrade my PSU if I do. my CX750M might be cutting it close.
