I am looking into getting another Ati 2gb 6970 card,however my Motherboard is limited to 16x,8x rails
So i am looking into a new gaming MB 16x,16x,what would you guys suggest?Would probablt like to stick with ASUS,Price £150/$240
Would the new motherboard that you guys suggest FIT all the rest of my Rig,ie Will my processor fit,Ram Modules etc?I want to build up gradually without buying loads right away,so i wanna be still be able to play my rig everyday.
Is the PSU good enough to run the 2 x ati cards?

Im looking into a watercooler or Cooling of some sort again £100,$220,I currently have the V8 cooler,heavy ass cooler btw


Thanks for any info you can give.

PS.i have eyefinity setup,every game seems to run fine so far with my current rig,i want to play BF3 on eyefinity when patch is released so i am currently playing on 1 monitor in HIGH/Ultra settings,seems to run fine but i wonder if my current rig will play well with this game in EYEFINITY (thats why i am updating,or do i need to really?) lol
