You want the Gigabyte UD5P or DFI LP DK 790FXB-M3H5.

I also strongly recommend you wait a few more weeks to buy the 965. AMD will be releasing a 125W variant that overclocks higher and has a better IMC (that makes it run memory faster and higher NB frequency.)

As well as the MSI 790FX-GD70.

What RAM do you have picked out?

The board you posted is awesome. But I'd go with M4A79-T Deluxe board for the cheaper price. Its possibly the best AM3 board ever.

comments on this mobo as well as suggestion's for other brands are welcome.
From what I've seen on the reviews, the best motherboard would be the MSI 790FX-GD70. The 2nd would be either the ASUS or Gigabyte 790FX/SB750 AM3 boards.

I disagree. Reviews say the M4A79-T is just as good if not better. These reviews where awhile ago and stated the Asus board would have one if the price wasn't so high.

Not saying that the GD-70 is bad, But definitely not the "best".

Owned the Asus M4 Deluxe and the GD-70

Hands down the GD 70 is the better board

Hands down Ithink you did something wrong. I used both boards and the MSI board was decent at best. Its over rated.

The MSI is not bad at all, certainly not for the price. Here the MSI retails for around 190 and the M4A for around 250/260. The CH3 is also at around 250/260. SO here for the price, that would probably be the best board.

After using it for about 6 months now, I can easily say that its a very good board, with great features and is probably the best looking board I have ever had.
