If you see my first thread my issue seems to be my motherboard, I now have x2 7850 GPU's so I'm looking for a good ATX AM3+ board.

The store I go to regular is closed until January 8th, so I tried to order online from a reputable ebay seller, I got a message today telling me my item was out of stock.

I want to order another today, however would like someone to pick out what the best motherboard is on these two sites, in terms of reliability and cross fire capabilities.

CCL Computers

Scan

Both of those websites deliver very quickly

I was thinking of the ASrock Extreme 4 for £70 from CCL ? is that a good buy

Any of the 990X or 990FX chipset based boards will do the job

Brands to look at

ASUS

Gigabyte

ASrock

MSI

My Extreme4 failed after 2 months. When it did work though videos stuttered frequently. Might be the processor or gpu, might not be. I am getting the Maximus VII Hero soon so I'll know for sure by then. Asus almost unanimously agreed by tech experts to be the number 1 mobo manufacturer. I owe it to their rep to at least get them a shot.

So I now have an Asus Sabretooth 990FX R2.0, fitted and everything works great again.

Got my second 7850 fitted too and crossfire is working as it should too :D
