Ok i've been very impressed and would live some information as to be what should I upgrade too?

Here is my current build, just the basics:

Biostar Tforce 7025 MB
AMD Athlon x 2 6000+
Radeon HD3870 OC Edition
3 GB DDR2 RAM (pc6400)

I do alot of gaming but not really looking to spend more than 300-400 dollars. But I know I want to get the Phenom 2 Processor @ 3.0 GHz. Can you guys please help me decide on what motherboard I should get????? I've been looking but I want a nice stable board that is not too expensive.

Thanks in advance!

here are your links: (NewEgg)
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103471
MB1: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813136044 - noce for your system
MB2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131339 - top of the line for under $200
MB3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128376 - will get by with it.

All of these motherboards should be fine. Would only get the 3rd one if you had to b/c of price. The 1st motherboard has slightly more features/speed to the 2nd, but the 2nd is a good choice because it will keep you under $400.
Hope this helped
