Does anybody know of any good motherboards that will support an AM3+ socket as well as a PCI Express 3.0? Ive considered the Sabertooth, but I cant seem to find either a place that has it in stock or ships it to canada. Do you guys know of any worth my while?
AM3+ socket and pci express 3.0?

I don't think they have the chipsets or cpus to support pcie 3.0. pcie 2.0 shouldn't create a problem - graphics cards don't put enough data through them to be a worry.
The Sabertooth - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=138_803&products_id=21201
only has 2.0

There was a limited edition Sabertooth with PCIe 3.0.
PCIe is not a bottleneck, in most cases. Even a PCIe2.0x8 (quarter of the bandwidth of PCIe3.0x16) is plenty for almost all GPUs.

AM3+ chipset does not support PCIe 3.0. PICe 2.0 will not give any problem to the graphics cards with PCIe 3.0 support. All such cards are fully compatible with PCIe 2.0 bus interface.
Meanwhile availability of mobos with AM3+ is confirmed. You may check at Newegg.ca or pcpartpicker.com

Really the only time a gpu needs pci-e 2.0 or better is when your using SLI or Crossfire. In those cases it helps cuz they can use fewer lanes for the same bandwidth.

Yes.
You can crossfire if the board has two PCIe slots. I'd recommend a board based on the 990FX chipset, so it has two PCIe x16 slots.
