Asus 990fx sabertooth vs msi 990fx gd80

[jamesw1990]

What motherboard to go for? sabertooth has a £16 lower price which is good but im unsure what board is better and I like both

ASUS VS MSI

Go for the Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 if available. It's much better than the GD80 mainly because it supports dual x16 whereas the MSI probably doesn't. Also, the cooling will be better on the sabertooth mainly because of it's design. The sabertooth also has 8 SATA 6GB/s whereas the MSI one has 6.

R2.0 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131877

If the R2.0 isn't available, then go for the normal sabertooth which is better too due to dual x16 capabilities!
