Choosing an AM3 AMD Motherboard for my CPU!

Hello everyone

I'm kinda new in this world of overclocking and i want to ask here for the best AM3 AMD Motherboard (Price and effectiveness) that i could buy.

The PC that i have now is:

Motherboard: ASUS M4N78 SE (THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO CHANGE!)
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2Plus/M4N78_SE/

POWER SUPPLY: Cooler Master Silent Pro M700

CPU: AMD Phenom II Black Edition X6 1100T 3.3 GHz Socket AM3

CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Frío OCK CPU Cooler.

RAM: 2 x Kingston DDR2 2gb 800 MHz (4gb Total) (i'll change this too)

VGA: MSI NVIDIA GForce GTX560 Twin Frozr II
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N560G...-Frozr-II.html

Hard Drive: Seagate 160gb (kinda old, like 8 - 9 years and this baby still works for me ;P)

Operating System: Windows 7 SP1 64 bits.

The motherboard i'm looking needs to be good for overclocking, specially that now i have the 1100t CPU and this awesome CPU cooler (its just awesome ;O).

Some guy told me that i should go for this mobo:
http://pcfactory.cl/producto/1281-MB.AMD.M5A87.AL..(AM3+)

but i dont know if it's good enough for overclocking, and it doesnt have two pci express 16x slots for future expansion.

If someone can help me, i'll really appreciate it
Thanks!!

Oh, forgot to say.
I'm wondering if this RAM would work on an AMD system, with a phenom II x6 cpu working:

http://pcfactory.cl/producto/9454-DDR3.XMS3.4Gb.1600Mhz.PC3-12800.(2x2Gb).CMP4GX3M2A1600C9.

i dont know if those will work only in certain amd motherboards :S

TT_TT

If you plan on going with SLI ever look at a 900 series chipset board. The AMD 970 chipset is great if you dont plan on going SLI but might want to upgrade to bulldozer some time in the future. I have a gigabyte 990Xa-UD3 and I think its wonderful. Almost as good as a 990FX board in features with all the stability of a high end board.

+1 the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3. I was looking to upgrade recently and decided on this, before Bulldozer came out and showed itself to not really be much faster than what I already have
