Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DQ6

Feature-packed and with 'Spider' capability (you can run up to four graphics cards in CrossFire X mode), this board will suit hardcore enthusiasts, but may be a little too much for conservative users. Either way, it performed reliably in our tests and has an exceptional build quality.
