Crossfire chipsets...

Morning all,

Ive recently decided that my upcoming new build wont need an 890FX chipset motherboard (after finding out that Bulldozer isn't going to be AM3 compatible). I'm therefore trying to find a slightly cheaper motherboard, however I still want it to be an 800 series chipset and have dual 8x crossfire. However, I'm seeing different specs for motherboards such as the MSI 870A-G54. Some say it has PCI-E at 8x/8x, some say 16x/4x (which would not do).

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced 800 series motherboard that DEFINITELY has 8x/8x capability?

Many thanks,

Puns

Well, if it gets close to £100, I may as well go ahead and get the 890FX board anyway, so I was looking at around £80. And I'm in the UK.
