i own a gigabyte gaming 3 , it has only one pcie 3, at 16x , if you want to crossfire or SLI you need more than that , but usually gigabyte is one step ahead of msi , msi < gigabyte < asus

you ask me questions about the gaming 3 if you have one

well it's not perfect , but neither is asus , asus gives you bios updates more frequently than gigabyte , some times it hybernates and it doesn't turn back on , so if you buy one i'd recommend you turn off your pc manually in windows and turn off the sleep feature in control panel , it also doesn't have any wireless adapter at all , and not a pci slot only two pci expresses so if you want wifi , you'll need to install a pci e wireless card
