look for a good board based on amd 770+ SB750(prefrebaly.. otherwisw SB700 will do) mobo if u want it for cheap. otherwise go for 790x or 790 fx with SB750..
id suggest try MSI

Plz give ur budget.. only then can i suggest something. :D

hey ididnt read ur post properly.. my mistake..
i suggest u try to get a a board with SB700 cuz they OC better

this one has onboard graphics .. but is a good overclocker

*www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=149&l3=639&l4=0&model=2270&modelmenu=1

*www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mothe...oard&ProductID=2814&ProductName=GA-MA78GM-S2H

*www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K9A2GM-FIH&class=mb

you can also check this board...no on board gfx

*www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138102

*www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=149&l3=592


but the best i think u can get in ur budget with a SB700 is

*www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Motherboards/detail_reviews.aspx?ID=en-us0000369

*www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Motherboards/detail_reviews.aspx?ID=en-us0000370

both these have the cheaper chipset amd 770... if u are able to get a amd 790x in 5.5k then you should definetly consider it as it should OC better. :D

BTW , i have a friend who has got 25% overclock on his 4600+ .. at standard cooling on asus m3a.... but i still suggest you go for foxconn's amd 770 chipset cuz it has SB700.
