hi getting a new mobo soon hopefully and since i have an amazon.com gift cert i can only order from amazon.com then get it shipped to me in the UK.
And as i can get more gift certs but cant currently get anymore cash, im a bit stuck.
so looking at around $100 for the mobo came up with these choices
first two are msi, ones LGA 1156, the others am3 and have what i want, (preferably AM3) and lga1156 one looks quite nice but is MATX, on the am3 ddr3 is limited to 1600 which is also why i'm having trouble deciding

These two are gigabyte and ASUS both brands i trust and have, unlike MSI, both have what i need but lack crossfire or SLI and have a PCI-E X4 as well as the 16.

http://www.amazon.com/785G-MAX-16GB...=UTF8&coliid=I5TXX2X5DYRZM&colid=D901TUOBIBXD
so what would you choose? MSI with everthing or sacrafice one thing for something that is tried and tested.
thanks.
