Guys,

Bought a new PC..

Monitor..Samsung 22" ...S22B370H - OVERVIEW | SAMSUNG India
MoBo .. ASUS - - ASUS M5A88-M
GPU .. SAPPHIRE HD 7850 OC 2GB GDDR5

I play loads of games.. planning to Crossfire in the future..

My Doubt is whether this MoBo holds good for that..or did i just bought a stupid one.?

Help me out guys.. :-D

Nope, your Mobo has only one PCIex16 slot, so no crossfire possible, sorry.

No it can't/ It lacks second PCI-E slot.
TO crossfire you are going to need a PCI-E slot having a speed of at least x4.

ok..but another doubt. is ths mobo gud enough to support my GPU..??

What does it mean? if your Motherboard does have a PCI Express X16 slot of any version (1.1, 2.0, 2.1 or latest 3.0), it will support any graphics card available.

I've said it already.
Your motherboard can't.

Ah, missed. :-(

@OP: You can use 1 GPU with your motherboard, but not two.
