Good Base for my gaming rig!

Hi guys, i'm looking for a decent motherboard that I will not need to upgrade for at least a year. I would like it to be able to run SLI or Crossfire I am willing to spend £70-£100, I can't make a decision myself as I keep going back and forth! Some Feedback would be appreciated! Thanks

Completely depends what CPU you will be using. Have you chosen a CPU yet?

Yeah I've checked a few builds with AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black. Any ideas?

Edit: I've just noticed there are 2 versions of this a 125W and 140W Version. Whats the difference?

For £91 the Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 is a great choice.
For £66 the Asrock 970 Extreme 3 is another great choice.
For £61 the MSI 970A-G46 is also an excellent board.
You can't go wrong with any of these, and buying one of the latter two means you can spend that money elsewhere, such as the GPU.

Thanks!! I Like the looks of the first one.
