Best Mobo for Phenom II 965 BE and Future CF/SLI

[pwnorbpwnd]

Looking around for a Mobo that is in between Budget and Best performance for the processor upgrade that I am buying. I have a video card and everything else I'm just looking for a mobo that supports Phenom II 965 BE and Crossfire/SLI for future upgrade.

Budget is under $110 MAYBE $150

The one I have my eye on is:

ASUS M4A87TD EVO AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Any other suggestions?

Better choice that is compatible with new cpu's and actually has real dual card capabilities x8x8.
ASRock 870 Extreme3

If you want SLI support then you will need AMD 990X or 990FX chip set board.

I'm thinking with using the ASRock just because it's within my budget right now, it looks great, I can think about buying bulldozer.. which I probably won't haha, and AMD video cards are getting cheaper. Chances are I'll either get another 6850 for myself or get a 6950 for the price they are now and get another 2 or 3 weeks after that.

The asrock is fine if you are thinking Crossfire.
