Hi again,

I've realized it's high time for an upgrade and since I do not have the money to purchase an Intel branded processor and motherboard I was interested in asking the community about this upgrade, so...
I currently have an AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE based computer, running on Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P motherboard and I have plans to start my upgrading process by purchasing a new motherboard that is overclocking friendly - MSI 990FXA-GD65, toss my 965 inside for the time being and start saving up for FX-6300 or 6350 (which one would be better, you tell me). I want to know if anyone is currently using this motherboard or if they have had some experience with it. I assume I can still run my current clock speeds for the 965 in the 990FX based chipset motherboard.
