ASUS P8Z77-V LX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

I'm thinking in buy a new graphic card(Amd R9 290), i want to know if that motherboard can support a crossfire well. I know its supports but i'm thinking in buy another graphic card after a few years and i want to know if i can stay with that motherboard or change it for another one.

the second PCI-e 2.0 only operates at x4. ideally for crossfire you'd want 2 x PCI-e x16 slots that can operate at x8 on both, so there will be a bit of a bottleneck if you crossfire 2 r9 290
