Motherboard specification help

fixty100 · Sep 1, 2014

I need a motherboard that can support an AMD 8320 and that has heatsinks on its VRMs as my last motherboard didn't. I'll also be running R9 270x's in Crossfire on the board so it needs to be compatible and an ATX board.

So far i have found this: http://

Thanks in advance as any suggestions would massively help me.

That's a good board you chose. About the best value/money, you'll be good to OC on that one

MeteorsRaining :

I am however worried about the PCI-E x16 on one slot and then x4 on the other. Should i look for another board if i want to crossfire or will that not affect it?

If you want to plan on crossfire, you need more than X4.

But.. Unless you are looking at a 4k monitor or triple monitor gaming, I would plan on upgrading to a single good card instead.

I agree with geofelt. A single GPU is more powerful than CF/ SLI most of the time when a single FHD or 2k is involved. You should get R9 280X or maybe R9 290 for a little more, they'd smoke the 270X CF in almost any game. x4 won't cut it for 2 GPUs, sorry didn't read the second sentence in your question regarding CF.
