Which mobo

[christine1985]

So i think ive narrowd it down to 2 boards for a amd build with crossfire. the 2 boards are
MSI 890FXA-GD65 AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
and
ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard

if anyone can give me some insight on what would be the better board i would love it.....Christine

Well what are you crossfiring? The 890FX is a high end more expensive chipset because it has 16x/16x crossfire. The 790X is a older budget chipset that has 8x/8x crossfire.

8x/8x crossfire is suffficient for today's graphics cards though, so I would go with the cheaper 790X.
