great motherboard,it has all the features a good motherboard should have, except for pci 3 and sli, if you dont want to go for a multi gpu setup, then buy this. it can run crosfire but in x8x4 which is not as good as x8x8. so if you want crossfire, buy a more expensive baord. however, i personally think that a single gpu is better as there are no bugs in it and it is more efficant. although this baord lacks heatsinks, any decent pc will have a heatsink on the cpu, i got mine titan for 20 pounds and it does an excellent job, dont stick to the standers intel fans, get a heatsink. there are 2 sata 6 and 4 sata 3, these are reallty usefull and enough for most people. you can easily fit 6 hardrives, most people dont even have that many. if you combine this with a good combo of components, you can esliy build a poweful pc.but if you want multi gpu support, go for a asus z68 gen3. overall, a good baord.
