Hey there,
I was planning on getting a new motherboard for my pc, I need an am3+ motherboard which can take a dual crossfire setup. I live in the UK and will be buying the motherboard from amazon (My limit if £80). Also, it would be nice to have a usb 3 front connection but isn't essential.
Here are my choices so far, any suggestions would be very welcome:

My favourite is the gigabyte one as it has usb 3 and a 16x, 8x and 4x.
Thanks, George.

No problem, I've now changed my mind to the 990fx extreme3 as the gigabyte one doesn't support my cpu without a bios update, which I can't do without an old cpu :/

I bought the 990fx extreme3 in the end, moved everything into a new case with the new motherboard, but it wouldn't work, me and my friend switched it back onto the old motherboard and it still worked fine, then moved it back but nothing happened :/
Motherboard was DOA and am now returning it. Does anyone else have a suggestion for an AM3+ MB that will support an fx6200 out of the box, can do dual crossfire and is £75 or less?
Thanks, George.
