what mobo is best for :
- AMD AM2
- no IGP
- no SLI
- GIGABYTE / MSI
- ATX form factor

you may want to also consider abit's AX78 - it's not expensive, is well laid out with some nice features etc. etc - pretty much everyone that has 1 likes it.

Supports Crossfire,but this is still a good board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813130138

any recomendation from GIGABYTE?

The Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 is too overpriced for me to recommend,unless the 770 Chipset has something the 790X doesn't have.

GIGABYTE GA-MA770-S3 AMD 770 $85
HT 3.0, PCIe 2.0 x16, Realtek ALC888, 2 x IEEE 1394a, DDR2 1066

How 'bout ...

BIOSTAR A770 A2+ AMD 770 $68
HT 3.0, PCIe 2.0 x16

BIOSTAR TA770 A2+ AMD 770 $80
HT 3.0, PCIe 2.0 x16, Realtek ALC888, 2 eSATA (6 total)

Heres my write on my MSI RD790 board. That would be my first recommendation (I have had great experiences with MSI's support), but if you are looking for a cheaper option, the K9A2 CF-F is a solid board, as is the Abit IX78- I have never had a Biostar board but I hear they're quite decent aswell. I would not be going Giga due to the recent support fiasco with the 680i...but thats just my personal preference.
