Looking into just building up my Phenom X4 system, Since I cannot seem to find a suitable and affordable board for my i7 920... I am just going to sell it (How much are they worth?) and get a board for my Phenom CPU since I am mostly an AMD fan. Has to work with CrossFireX, had 4+ spaces for RAM... and be rock stable. Preferably a good overclocker.

i would look at the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3.
it has an 8+2 power phase design, heatsinked vrms, 4 slots for ram, and plenty of PCI slots.
if you need crossfire along with all of that, check out the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3

I meant for the i7 CPU.. Not the board. The board is dead (Though the CPU tested fine in my friends PC)
