Im looking upgrade my mobo to the best available for my 965 c3. Also, the best 1600 RAM to go with it. Any suggestions?

Looks like you already have a good setup. You might look into a msi 790fx-gd70 motherboard and OCZ black Edition RAM......... http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/ocz_adds_lowvoltage_amd_black_edition_ram_memory_lineup

For sure... the MSI 790FX GD70... one of the best AM3 motherboards you can buy.

Drummer, your signature states u have Gigabyte 790X UD4P, do you really have the 790XT UD4P, since u have 1600 ram? The 790X is a ddr2 board and the 790XT is ddr3.

tbh since you already have a setup it'd probably worth it to wait a few months for the 800's to come out

^ Totally agree, the 890 will be due out in a few months along with the 6 core chips. Probably around May. I would wait it out also. I say this as a proud owner of the MSI 790FX-GD70, great mobo, but with the 800 series coming soon, probably better to wait awhile.
