Your Gigabyte should be ready for it.

Though, my personal favorites are the
Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P
Asus M4A79T-Deluxe

I haven't tested the Crosshair III. But it's supposed to be pretty good mobo, just haven't had my hands on it.

The AM3 boards are Light Blue & White.

Nothing on the Black & XX side though.

It has a CPU-NB Voltage option.

It's a decent board. Probably one of the better budget solutions with some of the Combo deals, but for it's base price the Asus & Gigabyte 790FX boards have my vote for more robust BIOS and they handle higher HT clocks better.
