Does this support crossfire? I also want to put e8500 in it.

YES, IT DOES. You fail so hard..

Epic fail on my part.

Your motherboard supports SLI not crossfire. So you'd have to get a motherboard which supported crossfire first.

Actually the Maximus II Formula that he picked out supports Crossfire.

First of all what size monitor will you be gaming on? If it's anything lower than a 1680x1050 resolution then Crossfire is pretty much pointless. Now if you are gaming at 1920x1200 then you should.

I didn't know that. I was reading the reviews and kept seeing everyone paired the motherboard with an Nvidia card. So I just assumed that it was SLI. My bad?

Oh man I now understand why everyone was saying Epic Fail.

I only said Epic Fail, so are you calling me everyone?! >:[

I am going to be playing on like a 19' screen with 1280×1024. I will probably upgrade to 22' soon. I just want good FPS in Crysis/WoW.

 

[1337_JohnN]

ROFL! If you have a good FPS in Crysis, you'll have a VERY GOOD FPS in WoW
