The x16 pcie slot spacing on that board looks extremely good. Something of a must with sli/xfire.

No it doesn't, its 8X/8X just like the rest that don't feature a PLX or NF200 etc chip.

Also Asrock are awful and have a worse warranty being just 2 years and half that need sending abroad.

Explain. Because that's not the impression I get from a lot of Overclockers.

Cheaply made boards, poor customer service, 2 year warranty (Gigabyte/MSI etc have 3 years) after one year you have to send it abroad, Gigabyte have a UK based RMA center, MSI allow the retailer to deal with it for the 3 year term.
