      Hello, good morning. I am writing to you to receive more specialized guidance than my own (just kidding haha).
      I would like to significantly improve the potential of my PC, which is currently limited by the Asrock n68c motherboard. The rest of my equipment is a FX 8120 micro, Giga 6850 graphics, 8 GB of RAM, and a Crucial M4 SSD, Asus Sonar, and a network card (I can't remember the specific model).

      My question is: which motherboard would be good to take advantage of the potential of the RAM, hard drive, graphics, and especially the micro. Considering that I will eventually set up crossfire.
      The ones I have looked at are:

      - ** ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0 - Motherboard (DDR3-SDRAM, DIMM, dual, AMD, Socket AM3+, 4.8 GT/s)
      ** ** Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 - Motherboard (socket AM3+, 4 x DDR3 up to 32 GB, 6 x SATA, 2 x eSATA, 10 USB, HD Audio)
      **
      ** Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 - Motherboard (Socket AM3+, 4 x DDR3, 6 x SATA, 3 x USB with On/Off Charge technology)
      ** Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 - Motherboard
      from Gigabyte

      ** ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 - Motherboard (DDR3-SDRAM, DIMM, Dual, AMD, Socket AM3+, 5.2 GT/s)**
      from Asus

      • I think the last one wouldn't have space for the sound card, as it would block the PCI slot, which is another thing I must take into account.

      • To summarize, I would like to use the current potential of the PC, to eventually be able to set up a 8x8 crossfire.

      Thank you and I apologize for the inconvenience, I'm a bit lost and overwhelmed.

          God, short and concise, yes sir. The truth is that I hadn't noticed those, I don't know why, maybe it's because I don't know much, but based on yours I see it as great, this is the older sister, isn't it worth paying a little more? or is it paying to pay.

          Pd: The crossfire would be 8x8, right?, I'm a bit lost.

          Thanks and I owe you one ?

            The Crossfire is not worth building, unless you want firewire, for an 8320 even but for that micro I wouldn't spend more. Save euros in the piggy bank to change GPU if that, with a 280X you already have a decent graphics card.

                In the end I had to change the one I bought, since the crossfire was 16x and 4x, which was not what I wanted.

                I ended up getting this one, which is 16x and 8x and they say it's the best combination of quality and price.

                Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 - Motherboard (Socket AM3+, 4 x DDR3, 6 x SATA, 3 x USB with On/Off Charge technology)

                Personally I recommend to those who want to do crossfire using their first graphics card and looking for a second-hand or first one if it's still available, to do it, the performance is literally double. I'm more than satisfied. 2 Gigabyte 6850 oc 820 mhz. From rendering at 3500 pts in graphics it has gone to 7100 pts (3dmark 2011 version trial). For 60 Euros a marvel, I don't know what will be equivalent to a single card.

                Motherboard problem, as I have already read and I can attest, the northbridge gets hotter than I like, but it's solved with a fan mounted on the graphics card, and it goes down to 36 at rest and 47 while playing.
                And the USB 3.0 doesn't perform as it should, but the transfer is averaging at 70.

                The motherboard a 4 out of 5.
