As the title suggests, I'm building a custom gaming system and have decided to go with an AMD build.
I have chosen everything except the motherboard.
I only need a motherboard with pci-e x16, crossfire (support for 2 cards, for future upgrades), ddr3 ram support (NOT ddr2 please), and AM3 cpu support (AM3-only please, not backwards compatible w/am2)
I am not going to overclock any components on the board, but would still like it to be reliable and sturdy.

Also I would prefer either a gigabyte or asus motherboard, but am willing to choose just about any brand if I am convinced it will last me a few years without problems.

My budget is $200, and I live in Australia, so please keep this in mind.

Thanks in advance, cha0n1x.

You're in luck: the September 2009 System Builder's Marathon has just ended. I think the motherboard chosen for the $650 machine (Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P) fits your criteria, at a price close to $100 on NewEgg.com!
