I want to upgrade my motherboard so I can add a second graphics card and also install a sound card and a network card with PCI.
My case can fit these motherboard sizes:
M-ATX / ATX / E-ATX / GIGABYTE XL-ATX

The motherboard needs to support AM3, USB3 and AMD CrossFire.
My budget is around $300 USD.
What are my best options?


SPECS:
HAF X case
22" LED LCD
Windows 7 64-bit
700W Coolermaster PSU
M4A785TD-M EVO Motherboard
8Gb RAM @ 1333
AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE @ 3.4GHz
ASUS HD6870 DirectCU 1Gb Factory overclocked @ 915/4200
HD1: 1TB Western
HD2: 1TB Seagate
