Simple:
Will this handle two MSI RX480 4Gb cards in crossfire?
Requirement calls for two PCI-E 16x slots
and the motherboard has two 16x slots but one is in 8x mode.
Confused?
I am just a little.
Thanks for help

yes 4x PCIE 3.0 is enough for the 480. The board is designed for crossfire so it should work great.

Get up to 2 PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots, with optimal placement for better fitting and airflow. That way, you can enjoy the best graphics at the highest framerate jumping off from your screen when running a AMD® CrossFire™ gaming setup.

It will be able to, but there's no way that your CPU is going to be able to utilize the power of XFire 480s, given that they're around the power of a 1070-1080. There's no way an AMD CPU handles that amount of power without bottlenecking it unless you're running a phenomenal screen as well.

I'm not too demanding on it
If it doesn't work out I will mothball one card until my Intel build happens next year
