Buying a new mobo...Which one should i get?
 
i want it to be:
$100
ATX
New and good chip set
good crossfire support
ddr3 2000 or 1600
AM3
Core unlocker

ummm i dont think im missing anything...

but i have been looking at these 3 boards

Open Box: BIOSTAR TA890FXE AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/...

Open box: ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 AM3 AMD 890GX HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16813131631R

Foxconn A9DA-S AM3 AMD 890GX HDMI SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813186198

Witch one of these two is better?

And is there any other boards that might be a better choice for me?

I'd say the ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3. Here some reviews.
You might also want to take in consideration the Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H, which is also a great motherboard

I know that for crossfire, if you don't have enough money to get 890FX, you are better of getting 870g. It is not that powerful, but it allows better cf scalability

wow that biostar is nice...and for $110 that just bumped up to #1 in my list
