Motherboard suggestions?

well the XFX 680i sli and LT sli have been going for very good prices now that the new 780i is out. the chipset overclocks very well but also runs quite hot. otherwise foxconn and gigabyte have some good 965 and p35 mobos that feature "solid state capacitors" these tend to overclock very well dispite the fact that some are under 100 dollars. there are many many choices depends on what your uses are and what you might want to pay. I build pc's for a living...send me an email and i'll see if i can help more

in case you're going the AMD direction then i could advise an AM3+ 970 motherboard and in simple terms paying for a less expensive little committed card. do not even issue with the 800 series motherboards through fact not all of them would have the capacity to settle for the approaching AMD Bulldozer processors. you would be able to properly be working with application yet a minimum of go away your self an improve direction. Asus is fantastically lots the darling that each and every person recommends. Asus does mave an somewhat good motherboard. Gigabyte does a discover activity besides. MSI is fantastically good too.

I've heard of bad things happeneing with some of the 680 boards. Might look into the intel boards unless you really feel you need SLI.

Whatever board you settle on though, search for its name + review and read all you can about it. Also search for its name + problems.

a mobo "around" $100 give take 10-20 bucks should be pretty good!
