Hey All, I'm looking at doing an upgrade soon and am really interested in an e-atx mobo.. Can you guys recommend any? I have 2x R9 280x GPUs to fit on it and inside a HAF X case. I'm looking at upgrading my CPU to a new Haswell i7 so it needs to be an 1150 chipset.

Can anyone comment on this guy?

Any particular reason for an eATX?

Thanks for the links guys. No particular reason for an e-ATX other than I really like having the extra space as I have a sound card as well as the 2 GPUs I'd like to fit on it without many issues.

I think that MSI Z power one Blackbird pointed to is in fact the only eATX Z97 mobo. And gee is it expensive. You really want to think on this.
Most Z97s are going to have good sound anyway so a sound card is redundant eg ASRock Z97 Extreme 6 - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i... - half the price of the Z power
Most ATX have ample room between for 2 gpu's and a sound card anyway.

Hmm, OK maybe I'll rethink the eATX and take a look at some ATX mobos. Thanks a lot! You've helped more than you might realize.
