so i'll get full x16/x16 for crossfire? this will be amazing soon!

Correct! 990FX provides full 16x/16x Crossfire support. The latest version of the Gigabyte 990FX UD3 (rev. 4.0 iirc) should have no problem supporting 83xx chips out of the box.

Also, you may have trouble locating UD5 and UD7 boards due to the explosion in gpu mining recently- or if you do, the cost will be significant

I haven't located both UD5 and UD7 so far. I have only located UD3 and I'm still waiting for their response on what PCB revision is their stock. Yah those dudes are taking all AMD resources for mining. AMD should supply more! HAHAHAHA!

I haven't asked for Asus boards here in my region. I think same as the Gigabyte, no stocks due to mining.

Hey how about AsRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0? Is this a good motherboard for 8320/8350? My local retailer had this one.

There is also one motherboard available, it's MSI 990FX-GD65. Is this a good board? I have noticed that is requires two power output for the VRM.
