Help swapping motherboards.

[Axleuk]

Hi Folks,

I am hoping you good people can help me swap my motherboard.

At present I am running an Intel Q9550 Quad Core on a socket 775 P5N-D motherboard. I presently have an ATI Radeon HD 6850 Gfx card and the motherboard is preventing me from setting up a crossfire arrangement.

PSU is currently 500 watt so might have to upgrade that too.

I would like to change the motherboard to something that supports both the Q9550 and a crossfire setup. Ideally I would like it to support USB 3.0 but it's not a deal breaker.

I have a budget of £200 to purchase both the motherboard and another HD 6850.

I would love your help in picking up something that will suit both my needs and my budget.

P.S. It does not have to be brand new gear.

Thanks is advance.

As far as i am aware no socket 775 mobo supports usb 3, and as for a mobo with crossfire you will have to go ebay as you dont have enough posts to use the members market.

Thanks for the response. I picked up a P5Q Pro Turbo off ebay and got myself another XFX HD9650 1gig. All within budget.
