No, the crossblade ranger motherboard doesn't support 8 core procesors and support older socket CPUs. All you need (for your exact requirement) is the Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 - It has the latest AMD CPU socket AM3+, three PCI-E 3.0 slots, support upto 140 W processor (the FX-8350 is only 125 W which means more room for overclock in future, if any).. Also this motherboard has the support from most of the AMD CPU users because of high recommendations https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=4.. Here, the price variants of the sabertooth mobo. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-sabertooth990fxr20

AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX. I dont plan to OC unless it comes that way. And id like to keep the budget under $200. If thats not possible then thats ok. And the gpu's im going to use are two MSI Gaming N760 TF 4GD5/OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card.
