I am building my first true gaming PC. My last PC died and I am going into gaming withdraws.
My budget is about $700 to get me gaming again. That not much. So I was looking at spending My money on a good Mobo, PSU, Monitor, Case and GPU. Saving my money on the things I can upgrade later.
I was looking at the ASUS M4A87TD EVO

1.Anyone have this Mobo? How do you like it? Any problems with the layout?
2. Any comments on CrossFireX will help got the basic idea.
3. 2 PCIe 2.0 x16 Slots (blue@ x16 mode, black@ x4 mode) I am guesing Blue@ x 16 is for the GPU? But what is black@ x4 mode.
4. any other Mobo I should look at.
Thanks
