My MSI K9A2 CF-F mobo was just stolen (long story) and i need a better replacement. Here's is the specs of my K9a2 cf-f mobo. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130138


Im looking for a mobo with at least 6 usb ports, any intergrated video card(for video card t/s) and a mobo that is compatible with:

PROC: AMD Phenom II x3 720 2.8gb Black Edition
RAM: DDR2 866 TeamXtream Dark Edition 2*2gb
V.CARD: Sapphire HD4770 512mb and im planning to upgrade it to a 6850 or 6080 in 3months and i might do crossfire in the future.
PSU: 700watts Hec couger
HEATSINK:Ice Blade pro

Im planning to overclock my phenom and i want a mobo that will take full advantage of it. Probably something that can enable the 4th core if possible. any suggestions?
 
A budget would be good - how much are you looking to spend? And I guess I'm dense this morning, do you want on- board video?

Offhand, if you're looking for on-board video and a solid OC'er then the ASUS M4A89GTD is a good board ...

Price really doesnt matter, as long its a good board that will be usefull for many years then its a go. But of course I would like to spend a goodboard for less price.. :D i'll check on that asus. Thanks for the suggestion
 
i guess I cant really use this board since im still using my DDR2 ram.. a good board anyway..
 
True. You didn't mention it and I didn't think of it.

The 790GX chipset is what you need to look for, then. I'd try to find a Gigabyte UD3 or UD4 or an ASUS in AM2+ variety. Newegg won't have them, maybe Amazon would still have some ...?
 
Will Asrock K10N78M Pro be a good mobo for my phenomi x3 720 and Radeon HD4770?
