so my wife wants to try overclocking. I build her a setup with parts I have laying around with an amd phenom 2 X4 910 and a mainboard that I had but it doesn't support overclocking at all. So I am thinking seeing as she just wants to try it out ill get her a board that works with that cpu and eventually when she gets the bug (its inevitable) then upgrade her setup to either new amd or intel setup. but I do'nt want to put a ton of cash for something she just wants to try out. so I know next to nothing about amd boards as im an intel guy. So any suggestions on a board that'll work with that cpu and allow decent clocks. she has an aftermarket cooler with direct heatpipes and 120mm fan so temps are in the high 20's to low 30's now. I'm not even sure what socket it uses or if it'll work with newer ones etc because because I know with intel its a new socket for new cpu etc
I prefer newegg to purchase but am open to new options
