Go with this one

It supports CFX and is cheaper than the ones you picked.

A PCI-e 2.0 16x link allows for 8GB/s. Even with a regular PCI-e 16x slot (4GB/s), my graphics card runs games great. You're considering a total of 12GB/s transfer speed, which is far more than you need to play even games like Crysis well.

CrossFire X is just the latest version of CrossFire, it isn't anything different (if you get what I mean). Any Intel-chipset motherboard with 2 PCI-e lanes will support CrossFire, or how would it support the second graphics card?

I don't see how the board that kls chose is worth $30 ($20 + $10 shipping) more than this one. Besides supporting 16GB of RAM (as opposed to 8GB), a more effective northbridge heatsink design, and one more PCI-e slot (I doubt you'd use it though), it isn't much better than the P5Q Pro. I would recommend both of them though.

The Gigabyte motherboard still looks good.
