Recommendations for AMD Mother boards

[gammaray]

Hi,

i'd like to know which AMD MoBo i should get.

1) i want good overclocking
2) Board that wont need an upgrade anytime soon

Currently i have an MSI Neo2 Platinum AGP board and i love it but its time to upgrade.

CPU is an athlon 64 4000+ san diego 2.4ghz, i know it wont fit in new mbs tho...

while at it, id like to know which cpus will give me the best bang for my money.
which ram would work well with the mb ( 2gb dual channel at least)
which PSU, i want 20A on the 12V rail.

Thank you!

-ASUS L1N64-SLI WS or M2N32-SLI Deluxe/Wireless Edition
-DFI LANParty UT SLI-M2R/G - nForce 590 SLI AM2
-MSI K9A2 Platinum 790FX or the more recent DKA790GX Platinum

any thoughts?

MSI K9A2 Platinum 790FX :thumbsup:


or wait for the 790FX refresh with sb750. The Foxconn is out so I would anticipate further offers this month (and a touch lower prices).

If you get a Phenom cpu, be sure the mobo allows you to change the northbridge multiplier as that seems to be key for OCing. I have the 780G mobo from Gigabyte and it doesn't allow for the NB to be changed.
