GABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

am looking at this board now ..... can get fairly cheap off newegg.com - question is . i can take the cpu back as well seeming they told me it wold work with my old board (did not so brough new) is there a better option around $180-$200 mark from amd that will run on that board. im about to order **** so i can get it under way and just thought i would ask

dont wanna deal with comp shops in my town anymore as they are usless. will buy off the net and research here.
