Default Need help picking a board to go with my AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition

Im building a HTPC and I think im going to use the AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition processor but I need a little help picking a board that will allow me to overclock it in the future if needed.......oh yea, I would like to pay under $100 (get the most bang for my buck)

Any suggestions?

Are you planning to overclock that cpu? Most boards that come with OC features tend be a little over $100.

I agree with Feeeline. That is indeed a solid board and you can tell there's a club for it here too as well.
