Basically I'm looking for a 5 slot m-ATX board with PCI-e x16/8 slots in slots 1 and 3, and an additional PCI-e slot in slot 5. CPU socket can be either LGA 1150 or AM3+. Thanks for any help, I can't find one.

EDIT: The additional slot must be x4 minimum.

Oi, what's your funds?

I though you couldn't afford one

No but seriously, or do you just want one no matter the price?

Well ideally the cheapest available so please don't recommend something like the Gigabyte Sniper Mthingy.

So do you want one for SLI/Xfire?

Or does it need 5 slots?

What exactly are you using it for, I'm confused.

I need a board that can run Crossfire and the PCIe SSD you posted about, in a Micro ATX form factor. If it can do SLI as well then shoop da whoop.

This is the only one i could find, but it will still be very tight.

And get very hot.

That's what I mean by 5 slots though. That board will fit two dual slot graphics cards and then have no room for the SSD.

Why exactly are you going for a Xfire build in a mATX case?

If that's what you really want, get a SATA SSD instead.

The HyperX ones are cheap at the minute i think.

They are cheap, but not like that PCIe one is.

Then again, the extra money I spend on a compatible board will be more than I would spend on a SATA SSD.
