or one from this list

as they are claiming that these boards will be able to use the new bulldozer chip when it come out :) so you will be able to upgrade down the road and save your self some money :)

S!

Why not get a 2500k for the same price as 1090t? No games care that you got 6 cores! Plus you can clock the balls off a 2500k!

Now that would be really foolish.
He's on budget and the AM3 socket reached the end of it's lifetime - there's no need to spend that much cash on a mobo which will be outdated in 8weeks.

2 the OP: AM3+ is due to arrive at the e3, you would probably need a bigger budget though, therefore AM3 is ok for another 12-18 Month, and you can still upgrade the CPU.
Well, if you can wait a few weeks for the AM3+ mobos to arrive, pick one of those. They're downward compatible and accept AM3 cpus, which should see another drop in price.

really? did you miss the part where u can put a AM3+ cpu into that board with a simple BIOS update?

he is already going for a chip that is $200 alone why not get a board that will increase the life of his rig?

So he buys the X6 and 4gb of ram and a mid/hi range vid card and a good PSU and in 1 year when the bulldozer drops in price and he do an up grade (double the ram,crossfire and bulldozer) as opposed to buying a new rig....

:)

your right but he has more options in the future with the MB i posted

Decisions, decisions! The i5 2500k really is appealing, but it would be a pain to the wallet - hmmm.

In fact I did. ;)
