I'm still waiting on the Jetway JHA07-Ultra-LF AM2+/AM2 790GX motherboard to come back in stock, but so far it's not.

I HAVE to order by no later than Wednesday next week. So I'm preparing to buy a different one if it doesn't come back into stock or I can't find it elsewhere.

Newegg is still out of stock, does anyone else know where it's sold? I'm pairing it with a Phenom Black 9950.

Needs to have 2 PCI-E 16x slots (Eventually will have Crossfire cards)
Needs to have HDMI out on the board with the 790GX chipset
4+SATA ports
1IDE port minimum
Support 8+GB of RAM

Welcoming any recommendations for a board at a decent price. Won't be used but for maybe a little overclocking within stock voltages. Need to buy soon as you can see, so please help! It's a xmas gift for my gf.

Well what do you know, after waiting 1.5 weeks, it came back into stock lol. But now I have to weigh it with those 3 other boards. Darned it all :p.

Oh, something to keep in mind - on a 790GX board you have 2 PCIe 16x slots, but no matter which board you get you'll be running both slots at 8x. If you want 16x on both slots, I believe you need to get a 790FX board (which doesn't have the onboard video).

Yes I realized that, thanks for the heads up. It'll never be a real gamer pc, won't need to do Crysis or anything. Thanks :)
