Do you have any intentions of running crossfire at any point?

Here are several for you to look at if you are not going to go with crossfire at any point in the future.

If you think that you may be going with crossfire at some point soon ot later on then you could look at this board. Most all Sandy Gridge motherboards come with the video ports on them because that is a feature of the cpu.
