New motherboard help?

[iajames9619]

I'm going to be buying a new MB here in the following days. I want to buy something thats going to work good with a FX 8350 and a RX480 and supports sli because i may take advantage of it with the 480 someday. Also i want to get something thats going to look clean and maybe even be RGB? I'm going to have a large window exposing the internals so appearance is a little important to me but not as much as the performance and compatibility.

I don't know that 990 boards come with RGB, I haven't seen any. If you SLI a 480 with an 8350 you're wasting your money, though. Do you already have those two parts purchased?

Closest you'll get to an RBG board with an AM3+ socket.. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/jntWGX/asus-motherboard-970progamingaura (It's an older chipset but still compatible with your CPU)

And SLI is for Nvidia cards btw. AMD's version is called Crossfire.

Personally I wouldnt be putting any more money into that platform though.
