Which motherboard to get?

[Evonera]

I am having a dilemma between these two motherboards to get:

MSI Z77A-G41 $140
MSI Z77A-G43 GAMING $188

I am intending to buy a new Gigabyte R9 28X OC and in future maybe another one to crossfire so.. Or does anyone have any suggestions for a decent motherboard (<$200)
.
I am using an i7-2600k CPU.

Don't think you can use that CPU for that mobo.

The socket of i7-2600k is LGA1155 which is the same as the mb no?

Ah if so then can use.

And I don't think if you wanna buy board alon it will be that pricing. Will be higher.

hm... I got the pricing off mynextcom and it is not a bundled pricing.

side question: is it more worth it to get 2x R9 270X to crossfire or get a single R9 280X ?

Just get a single r9 280x.

For board get the z77a g43
