I have an FX-8350 an I am looking to overclock it but I need a good mobo that will let me overclock it to high speeds and be stable. I would also like be able to crossfire later down the road. I would like the motherboard to be asus but that is definitely not a must and I want hte most bang for my buck. But I would like it to be an ATX board Another thing is I am still trying to decide on a psu. Suggestions are welcome!!!! I put my build link below so you can see what I have. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the reassurance about the power supply. Its just I havent heard much about EVGA psu's but jonnyguru gives it an 9.8/10 according to newegg. When I add another video card on my pcpartpicker build it says the wattage is 639W is the psu I have big enough to support crossfire and a medium to high overclock?

Yes definitely stick with the G2, they are fantastic PSU's. The RM series 650w and under are good quality, but the 750w and 850w use cheap capacitors. CF R9 280's on a 750w PSU will be pushing it I think, you need to look at the amps it can put out. I'd probably go to an 850w to be safe, it's only about $10 more at the moment.

If you're on a tighter budget you can go for an XFX PSU, they are still good quality, made by seasonic, although they are bronze rated and non-modular.

The G2's are very competitively priced for their quality and that they are fully modular. If you don't care about being modular there are other options such as the Rosewill Capstone which is also made by Super Flower and a little cheaper, but if you can afford it i'd go with the G2. EVGA also sell coloured sleeved cables for the G2 so you don't have to do it yourself.
