[Axon]

ASUS has released its outline of its AM3+ Socket boards, which will include the 970, 990X, and 990FX chipsets. The 990 series chipsets will feature SLI in 8x/8x and Crossfire in 16x/16x.

Other highlights include the TUF Sabertooth 990FX motherboard and the 990X Evo, both of which look baller.

I want to use my Sempron in the ROG Crosshair V Formula.

Should I get the 2133MHz DDR3 or is 2000MHz enough?

2133MHz of course with LEDs and tallest RAM heatsinks you can find. Also, you need a 1.5KW PSU for extra stability.
