Just wondering whats the best Abit motherboard for me given the hardware listed above, thx.
 
The best Abit mobo for what you listed would be either the regular AA8XE or Fatal1ty. I have the AA8XE and can certainly recommend it. There's a sticky post in this section about BIOS settings.
 
the extra price of the fatal1ty isnt worth it unless youve got money just sitting around or you really want to get into the bios and play with some extra voltage options that badly.

i love mine though dont get me wrong but its overkill for most people as the aa8xe will do just about everything the fatal1ty can minus a handfull of gimmicks for the most part.
