I have just built the system in my sig two short months ago. now my girlfreind has bought me a Asus Crosshair V Formula AM3+ 990fx motherboard. I do plan to pick up a FX8150 in the coming month as well if that helps.

Which motherboard is better for gaming and overclocking.Thx in advance

Return the Crosshair V and use the money to invest in a real PSU

-------------------------
Crosshair IV Formula, Phenom II x4 965 w/ Corsair H60, 8 GiB OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600, XFX HD 7970 Ghz, 512GB Vertex 4, 256GB Vector, 240GB Agility 3, Creative X-Fi Titanium w/ Creative Gigaworks S750, SeaSonic X750, HP ZR2440w, Win 7 Ultimate x64

psu was from a previous build and ive had 2 5870's in xfire with no probs so ima hang on to it taking the crosshair back and keepinf the sabertooth and picking up another 6950 to xfire.
