Yes, the mobo supports Crossfire.

Which to use, Asus or Sapphire, will make little difference in overall performance. Just use a matching pair to minimize any differences.

What make/model is your power supply? That could impact whether you can use CF at all.

You would have to change the PSU to one, much stronger, to use Crossfire. I would suggest no less than a quality 850w PSU.

Having 2 GPUs will not only increase power consumption, but will generate more heat and noise. If your case doesn't have good airflow, you could cause other heat related issues with other parts of the system as well.

Just things to be aware of.
