Just received a email from MSI explaining that whats wrong with my USBs is a motherboard problem. So now i need a new one :(

My current is a MSI GD65.

I would like a M-ATX board what supports crossfire(or sli) and runs both slots at at least x8 in crossfire(or sli) and x16 with 1 card. A pci slot or 2 would be fine but there not important.

I have 4gb DDR3 ram made for P55 chipsets and a 600watt OCZ modular powersupply

I have £200 to spend. but if i spend all £200 i wont get a 2nd graphics card for SLI or Crossfire.

Any help?

So far i like the
Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2
Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD4
Asus Maximus III Gene ( abit more than im looking for but i will have to sacrifice a 2nd gfx card if i get convinced to buy it )

Go for the Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD4.I don't see any reason to spend the extra quid on the Gene.And about xfire/sli.All sk 1156 support 1 gpu at 16x and 2 at x8-x8.The only exception is the EVGA P55 Classified 200.
