Greetings!

I'm going to spend lots of money on a new PC build tomorrow. I have built PCs before, but only ever budget rigs; now I find myself trying to build a serious gaming PC, and I'm getting confused.

My plan is to buy one Gigabyte Windforce R9 290, and then purchase a second one (and two more monitors!) when the price drops a bit. And the question is simply - will I be able to run two of them on my AS Rock H81M? Or do I need to shell out on a fancier mobo?

Thanks for all advice!
