Hi there, great site from what i've read here so far. I have ordered some stuff on sale & need a mobo for it. I've been an Intel guy in the past but now moving to AMD to give it a go I guesss lol. Anyways here is a description of the stuff i ordered.

CPU: AMD X4 64 9850 Black Edition ($259 on sale retail box)
Video Card: 2 @ Ati HD 3870 Crossfire setup $189 each
750w Power Supply $119
Mem: 2 x 2 GB OCZ $82
All canadian pricing

Any help with a recommended mobo would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks for your time,
Cheers

This is a great community, so welcome!

Little out of my league as I've kinda lost touch with AMD plus I'm usually about 3 generations back! But here's a review that might help you out. I know the Gigabyte board supports your processor and am fairly certain the Asus does also... Not sure what your RAM specs are, tho, but guessing it would work fine.

Thanks for the reply and link. That was a great help with my decision. I am just waiting for CPU (Asus Mobo in stock at local store) so I will be shuttin this system down and coming back with new one when the beast comes in. Well, heres to hoping my new system kicks ass!! will let ya know on how it goes. Once I get a better cpu fan, I might just over-clock
