All the 990 chipset suppot both SLI and Crossfire, 990FXA supports multi-gpu in X16-X16 bandwidth and 990XA provides multi-gpu in X8-X8 bandwidth. If you don't want SLI or Crossfire then opt for 970G based chipset.

970 mobos are not readily available right now and if OP wants to place order now then he might opt for 880G mobo instead ;-)
