Preface: I am not building the computer today just trying to get an idea of what I need to look at in combo deals at newegg. Probably be buying after Intel releases their new i5 & i7 in September just to make sure that nothing earth shattering happens or prices drop a lot on the i7. Never had AMD before so do not know a ton about them. I do not really have a budget probably like to keep the motherboard & processor under $300 the less the better. I usually upgrade motherboard & processor & ram together, so I won't be upgrading on the board until I build another one in a 2-3 yrs.
Need (processor, motherboard, ram, cpu cooler):
PROCESSOR: Phenom II 955 Black (planning to overclock nothing drastic would like to get to 3.5-3.7)
MOTHERBOARD: My main question is on the motherboard. Would one of the following work or do I need something better. I only need one video card and want DDR3 Ram.
