Gigabyte 990FX-UD3 Rev4.

 

But at this point you're spending more on a board than a CPU and it's making for a pretty unbalanced system.

 

Depending on the game it will also bottleneck in X-Fire.

 

If you post your planned specs (budget, games, location etc) we can give you a hand.

It shouldn't bottleneck too bad, and the Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 will do well.

UD3 Rev4 from Gigabyte is still my choice, personally I'd add an SSD first as that will give more of a benefit right away :)

So SSD first then PSU then mobo and lastly overclock?

Or whichever goes to a sale first right?

I guess. PSU doesn't really need touching. I wouldn't recommend using Crossfire on an AMD platform anyway as you'll run into bottlenecks.

Ok I guess I can manage the CF thing maybe upgrade to r9 280x/290 instead( or whatever card that my FX-6300 doesnt bottleneck)

990FXA-UD3 Rev 4.0 will fill your need fine.

 

Sata III on all ports.

 

Will do PCI-E 2.0 16/16. 3.0 Isn't needed and if you find it on a board like the Sabortooth it is using a PLX chip to get the extra lanes.

 

It has 2 USB 3.0 port that can do 2 USB 3 headers each.

 

It also has 8 USB 2.0 headers on the board. Some on the I/O others on the bottom of the board.
