Pretty good 970 Motherboard

GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P (rev. 2.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Gives you 95% of what a 990 chipset would give you at 75% the cost. NB and SB run real cool even when system is OC. A real good overclocking board., got Phenom 1100T Overclocked at 4.1GHZ with turbo off. Also swapped 1100T for FX 8320 and OCed this to 4.5GHZ turbo off, all on air cooling and very stable. Also a very good looking Board inside case.

Cons: You do have limited Crossfire but no SLI. And by limited Crossfire I mean that Both Graphics Cards are not Going to run at the same Speed or Bandwidth. If you look at the slots, there "NOT" both 16X so keep that in mind.

Overall Review: If your going to run twin graphic cards or even two dissimilar cards then you might be better served by a 990 chipset board. Otherwise this is a real great board that wont compromise your systems performance.
