Asus M4A79XTD EVO motherboard

[serous-2010]

I'm choosing parts for my new PC. I know that's wrong, but I first chose the CPU - AMD Phenom ii x4 955, and video card - Ati radeon 5870. Thinkin of bying the Asus M4A79XTD EVO motherboard:
1. Will it work with other parts?
2. HOW will it work (what do you think of it)?
3. What can you advice instead for about the same price (+- 50$)?

Alvin this mobo does CROSSFIRE not sli. Big difference Crossfire is for AMD and Sli is for Nvidia
