Alright chaps!

Looking for some suggestions/advice. I have the phenom bitfenix case with a gigabyte h81 mobo. I am needing to upgrade the mobo but I need a board which has two pcie 2.0 x16 slots. One for my graphics card and one for my predator ssd. Any suggestions please? Done a bit of research and I came across this: ***REMOVED***

Any good?
 
That board only has one X16 slot. The rest are PCI. It has one PCIE X1 slot. By the way, no SSD needs 16 lanes. At best they need 4 lanes of PCIE 3.0.

You're barking up the wrong tree with H81 if you're looking for multiple X16 slots (again you dont need it but who am I to tell you what to buy)...

Look at H97 or Z97 boards. Check the specifications page dont just look at a picture. Some X16 slots are wired at X8 and other debauchery exists out there.
 
Hi and welcome to the forums :)

Could you remove the competitor link - not allowed here I'm afraid

Pick any of the motherboards here - they'll suit your needs
 
Thanks for the replies! Sorry about the link. Should have read the rules, won't happen again!

Regarding the motherboard then, I have a 4th gen i5. Will it fit a h91? I'm really sorry about the noob questions, hardware really isn't my thing I'm afraid.

Can you suggest any boards that will fit my case, gpu and predator?

Thanks so much for your time!
 
Thanks for the link ExRayTed but I'm not sure those motherboards are suitable just by reading the specs and knowing my requirements. Unless I'm missing something which is entirely possible! Thanks again!
