Need a motherboard for crossfire

[Diederik_Gr]

So I'm gonna get my hands on some used 290x's for cheap and I know my motherboard and power supply aren't up to the task of holding two of these things. I don't need help finding a power supply considering there is very little actual choice in this market, but motherboards easily get me confused with all the options out there.

 

What I'm looking for is an lga1150 board that doesn't need to have anything made for overclocking, considering I have a locked chip and have no need for swapping it out. All it really needs is crossfire support, I got confused on this because official crossfire support isn't needed apparently, as far as I've understood (don't take my word for this). A second thing which would be nice, but definitely not necessary, is some good onboard audio. I don't need the absolute cheapest board out there, I sure don't mind paying extra for some quality. I don't need a fancy motherboard either, less is more, I won't be able to look at it all the time anyway as I have solid side panels.

 

Budget is 150 euro and I live in the Netherlands. No problem if it's over budget, just don't make it too extreme.

 

Edit: One last thing. It would be nice if the PCI-E slots for the cards are very distant from each other. These are air cooled 290x's after all.

If the budget is only for the board I would recommend the MSI ATX Z97 board. Has great on board audio, and is in you budget. http://www.amazon.com/MSI-DDR3-Motherboards-Z97-GAMING/dp/B00K8KPXUO/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1450282193&sr=1-1&refinements=p_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A2057458011

That is a really nice one, but it is a Z97 platform which looks silly combined with a locked processor. Still it looks really well equipped, the m.2 slot sure is a nice bonus. Any chance there is a board like it without the overclocking ability?

What CPU are you using, I could probably find a board that matches it well.

It's an i5-4670 (non-K version). Currently running it on an Asus B85M-G.

Then a B85-G41 board from MSI is your best bet. You loose the M.2 slot. http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Motherboard-Motherboards-B85-G41-MATE/dp/B00D12OASW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450284122&sr=8-1&keywords=MSI+B85-G41+PC+Mate+ATX+LGA1150+Motherboard
