Whatever you want to get. You can still run one video card in a 2 slot motherboard. It's just there in case you upgrade to a second card later.

No, the second is better if you ever want to add a second to crossfire or sli them (use 2 of the same card for better performance).

with one vid card they will perform the same, if you try to add a second, the second board is way better. Although the 990fx chipset might be better in some other aspects i think.

If you are not planning on adding a second graphics card in the future get the one Stranglehold has suggested. It will run fine ,but if your planning on getting a second card get the second board,

But dont be fooled into thinking this is the last upgrade you will do on yer rig ,

If you only plan on using one video card.
This one.
GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3

If you might one day maybe run CF or SLI with two cards.
This one.
GIGABYTE GA-990XA-UD3

If you want to spend the extra money for slots that run both in 16X. Which only highend card can advantage of, and only a small amount even then.
