I have used k8v-mx, its good enough and very stable. Make sure you have 512MB RAM. I wanted to build a very cheap system some months ago and decided to go for this board along with a mere 256MB RAM. Needless to say, the system crawled badly.

I would say, rethink about your choice of processor. s939 proccy prices have fallen too much that you cannot make them go unnoticed.
