first off, why are you getting DDR2 with a DDR3 motherboard? also, there's newer chipsets now as well, with more up to date features, i would look into one of those. these two are both good picks, support USB3.0, SATA 6Gb/s, crossfire, and all the other usual enmities. if you're looking for some slick overclocking action the 870 chipset will be a bit better suited for overclocking as it has much more aggressive voltage delivery circuitry for the CPU than the 880G, but the 880G also has integrated graphics if you care.
