Hello guys, Im new here but I always check this forum when I need tech support :)
Yesterday I got 2 evga gtx 770 sc, the problem is that my current mobo does not support SLI :( , I got the Gigabyte 970a-ud3. So I was looking for a mobo that supports SLI and I found the MSI 970, its about 145 usd here (in my country is always twice expensive that the retail price), so my budgets is about 100 usd on retail price. Do you think its worth it? Will the msi 970 support my fx-8150 and the 2 770 video cards?

On the MSI site I states that SLI is supported, and states :
"Slots
2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 slots
PCI_E2 supports up to PCIe 2.0 x16 speed
PCI_E4 supports up to PCIe 2.0 x8 speed
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots
2 x PCI slots "

I not sure what that means about the pci-e. Thanks in advance, and Im sorry if the question is too silly but I need support here.

Regards!

Thanks for the reply,
At 1080p, although i cant take the cards back i got them at the price of one becouse a friend sold them to me. Hence the 970 is out of my budget.
