Title says it all! what's the best Board i can get for this CPU for $70 or less?
I intend to use 8GB DDR3 1600 as well. Another different but related question: Will the future Kaveri APUS be compatible with FM2 socket?

As for Kaveri, It will work with FM2+ socket not FM2 unfortunately.

Thanks for the answer. Well this is certainly bad news, because to me, it's just a bad choice to build a FM2 system from scratch with the 5800k CPU, being the 6800k richland the only possible CPU upgrade.
and from what i've read, it's not even that good of an upgrade. What do you think?

Just build the Trinity 5800K for now and stick with it for let's say 2 years, And by that time, there will be a new APU architecture that I'm pretty sure is worth to upgrade with.

From what I remember, he's the guy who will only use 720p monitor and will not be into hardcore gaming which he posted in a different thread I think yesterday. So this APU build is good enough for 720p IMO.
