ASRock 890FX Deluxe3/4 advice

[Bucknuts77]

From the reviews I've read these are not bad MB's but OC'ing is a bit lower. Anyone have either of these 2 mb's because priced at $150/160 there cheap, and I'm not trying to build a high end PC so trying to sorta low end the prices as much as i can. Will be using a 1075T CPU, and Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3 1600 decided on that. Any help on these 2 MB's would be greatly appreciated. Would be useing these items from my curent setup.

COOLER MASTER HAF 932
Cooler Master V8/Cooler Master 90cfm fan
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870 970/1150
EVGA GeForce GT 240 600/1400/1800 (PhysX)

If you're trying to save money and pick "sorta low end" why are you picking that mobo? It costs almost as much as my CPU & MOBO when I bought them new!

Why not go with the 870 chipset for quite a bit cheaper?
ASRock 870 EXTREME3 AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0...
MSI 870A-G54 AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AM...

Of, if you need 3xPCIe x16 slots, the 880 chipset:
ASRock 880G EXTREME3 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s ...

I may be wasting your time, but I personally think $150-$160 mobo's are mid-range.

Well low end with the 890fx chipset I probely shoud of said that since they are the 2 cheapest besides the Biostar MB, but that MB only has 2 pcie 16 lanes, and that would be fine but if I ever add a 2nd 6870 i would lose my physx card. Thanks for trying to help tho

Ive had good experince with ASRock when it comes to stability and options. OCing was good as well, my 785G board would OC great! (higher than a DFI 790FX) but my ASrock P55 Extreme has some trouble OCing my Xeon chip but it could be a number of things i havnt had time to test. It will get my Xeon X3430 (I5 750) to 4ghz Prime95 stable but when i do Intel burn test, it goes 50-90 seconds and gives me an error. It seems its with the memory cause it will prime for 6 hours plus no errors. It also takes up to 1.4V to be prime stable but that could be the chip was well

ya man I'm going to try Asrock, but OMFG I went to make my order on newegg and the Deluxe4 was sold out lol, but I have until the 14th until I really have to order everything since that when rebate on ram has to buy to get, and I found out my bonus from work is more than I thought so 1090T is going with my buy, and more ram. even with more money now still going to try Asrock, I really want 4ghz, and even with all the reviews with older bios version's 1090T has hit well over 4ghz so this would be my system.
