I have bought Phenom2 X4 980 but can't decide the mobo.
I was thinking of Buying Gig GA 880gm U3 but it's price is 4.7k
Is there any mobo for around 2.5k ??? :-?

other components ::
::6790HD
::8GB Corsair memory
::HDD WD 1TB
::Corsair CX500 PSU
::Optical Drive (sata)

There are sub 3K motherboards available for 125W processors but that is not recommended at all. It will limit the potential of overclocking the unlocked CPU by a huge margin and any kind of tweaking is not recommended.
GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2P Rev 3.1 @ 2.7K is the budget option for you but better get a motherboard like Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 Revision 3.1 @ 4.8K.

Yes I own one and its Great Economy board for OCers.

I am running my 955BE @4.118 GHz stable on it
