So I am looking to buy the FX 8320 and i find a micro atx board to use it on, then I realize I would also like to crossfire in the future, are there any AM3+ Micro ATX crossfire compatible motherboards, if not are there any FM2 CPUs or APUs that are almost as good as the FX 8320? I am looking to do some gaming at max in Battlefield 4 in ultra with a Gigabyte r9 280, and some minor video editing.I am also not willing to go to greater costs than that of the FX 8320.

Thanks in advance,

Nejat

SHAMEFUL DISPRAY

There aren't really any AM3+ boards suitable of running an 8320, let alone multiple GPUs.

 

FM2 CPUs are quad cores, and thus perform about as well as AM3+ quad cores.

 

If you really want mATX go for an Intel solution.

Thanks! I think I found a nice ATX MSI gaming Motherboard!

great, if this is a gaming rig you might want to consider a locked core i5 and a H81 or H97 motherboard instead as it performs better and cost about the same.
