    Future looking AMD AM3+ motherboard for use with Phenom II x4 965

    Well the Gigabyte board will definitely be a relief for you as I have bought four different ones for family and friends builds. Not one problem yet. I have had very good luck with AS Rock brand too.

    Future looking AMD AM3+ motherboard for use with Phenom II x4 965

    Yeah, I would definitely check other components like the power supply out. I had a power supply that fried a couple of boards before I finally bought a power supply tester (only like $10-$20) and found the culprit. Referral link deleted

    are there differences in SATA cables?

    I would agree that the main difference would be the connecter quality. Maximum PC did a test with different cables and lengths and found absolutely no difference between "certified SATA3 cables" and generic SATA cables. Check out the article: http://bit.ly/18fJyjh

    Great thread! I'm going start sending some noobs (I was once one myself) this way. Some of the info needs a bit of an update but is still relevant to the concepts.
