Need Help With picking parts

board doesnt do crossfire, its one good graphics card only you need.

please dont make me explain why it isnt even tho it has two pci-e slots and says it does, I get tired of it.
 
oh crap, i been called out.

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3503#sp - is the board, in the specs tab it says.

*1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16) (Note 5) (The PCIEX16 slot conforms to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)
*1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4) (Note 6)
2 x PCI slots

basically when two cards are inserted, the second pci-e slot runs at a maximum of 4X speed while the first plods along at 16X, this causes a great imbalance and performance issues where one card is getting strangled with data
 
The second slot is limited to 4x which won't give a very good performance boost if do choose for what ever reason to try.
