ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional ThReAD

yeah it'd be in the slot next to it and i'm using these cards

All right. Unfortunately the 970 Extreme4 isn't capable of x16/x16 CF or SLI. You should get a 990FX mobo.

I'm seriously considering this board over an ASUS Sabretooth now. I hope the price is right $149.99 or in that ballpark. You have to love a company that listens to its customers. The high quality components on the board put a smile on my face. Thanks to all the guys that identified the components. One question though, do we know yet if the board has any power protection like over/under current/voltage for those pesky power fluctuations during storms? I recently lost my ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe mobo to a jolt that made it past my Cyberpower 1500VA UPS and PCP&C 750 Silencer II. It hit before the UPS or even breakers could trip and ruined my day.

Don't hesitate too much. It's better than Sabretooth and your X-Fi Fatal1ty will be love it.

I don't know anything about such protections of the mobo but I would recommend you a Seasonic X PSU.
