Plan to move to FX55 in the near future. System will not be used for gamming. See no reason to use PCI-E video function. Will be OCing to the max. Your recommendations are appreciated.

The only reasons right now that I see for not going with a nforce 4 is price, since you don't need a high end video card you could just get a cheap x300 card just to get something on the screen. If you do get a nforce 4 then I'd get a gigabyte board.

Not yet the ones I've seen for sale were almost $300, so I'll probably be getting it sometime early next year.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum seems to be the most favored 939 NF3 board. I find it to be slightly buggy, but it does get the job done.
