*edit*- Found a 790FX board at a good price. Thanks



Looking for a decent AM3 board.

ASrock 880g extreme3 for around $90 or so would be my top choice.

Requirements....please do not bother posting or PM'ing if your board does not have these ''must's''-

Must have atleast 2 PCIe x16 slots (x4 or x8 speed doesn't matter as long as it has 2 slots not counting x1 slots)
Must be full ATX, not interested in any micro boards at this time
Must use an 8 pin plug for the CPU power (meaning no 4 pin boards)
Prefer 90 degree angle sata ports
USB3/sata 6gb is a plus
Prefer atleast the I/O shield with the board, but not a must.

Strongly prefer either asrock or gigabyte, any other brand would have to be pretty cheap to convince me to buy. MSI would probably be my third choice, a distant third.

Post or PM me what you have with a price shipped to 17025. Thanks

Saw on OCN that you're looking for CPUs as well? Might go a different route soon and I'll be listing my 1090T if you're interested. Again, a little pricey, but thought I'd ask and bump.

I just picked up a 1055t and a 560 BE, thanks though. Still looking for a decent clocking 955 BE though.

Nah, can't get high enough on LN2 on that chip to be worth it. The 1055t was a trade deal, thats the only reason I got that.
