I'm building a desktop rig that is going to be using an i5 2500k and dual 6950's crossfire. I really don't know much about motherboards.

I'm looking at this Gigabyte:

Or these different Asus mobos:

First off I'm looking to figure out what Asus mobo's support 2 gpus(for crossfire).

That being said, what is a good bang for your buck mobo of the ones I listed that is best for a dual graphics card build?

My friend told me to get the Asus one for like $140 price range is my best bet because you can never go wrong with an Asus. But the problem is I don't know if any of these gpu support dual cards!

Do I have to go up into the $200 price range to get a good dual card mobo for gaming?
