You should really consider the MSI 790FX-GD70. Here is the reveiw from HardwareZone.com. Check it out. read the entire thing....
__________________The one thing that I can say abuot the review on the MSI 790FX-GD70 is that the review on it says that the max FSB is around 313-320MHz.. THAT IS COMPLETELY FALSE! I, myself, have had it to 337+ Easy! One thing that people have to remember is that ALL of the hardware, when OCing needs time to get use to running above stock speeds. Even the Motherboard. Personally speaking, I have the board and it's a workhorse! The options for overclcoking are ridiculous! There are so many. The board is coming from a company (MSI) that has been been totally upto par in the performance and OCing department until NOW! You won't be disappointed with this board. This board also has FOUR PCIe 2.0 Slots for quad crossfire. Whcih you can also adjust the voltage and I/O Voltage for the PCIe as well. And with the OC dial and button, the ClearCMOS, the Reset and Power buttons right one the board, it is insanely convenient!

Well after a billion reviews and researching as much as possible i finally settled on the Asus M4A79T Deluxe with the G.Skill Ripjaw (2x2GB) DDR31600MHz!
So far so good, it flies  and with unlocking the other cores on my x2 550 i now have a fully working 3.1GHz triple core cpu...

I have decided to try and see if i can successfully unlock the other cores on this cpu (if possible) and so far this is what i have been thinking of getting.
I am leaning more towards the Asus though, such a good looking board!
