I am building a new rig and I have a strict budget of $500
I will be using the athlon II X3 2.7 ghz

and a radeon 5750
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150448&cm_re=radeon_5750-_-14-150-448-_-Product

I wanted to know if there would be any performance difference between 1000, 2000, and 2600mhz hypertransport, as well as if the 5750 will be bottlenecked by pcie 1

also, I wanted to know if different chipsets from the amd 700 series would produce any performance differences

I am currently comparing these three motherboards

Well the amd 435 which your getting is 2000x2 or 4000 hypertransport so thats that.
As for chipset you don't define if your refering to the North or South Bridge. The boards you've selected are Nvidia/Via/Amd, only the last one shows full support extending to 5600 hypertransport. It also has 2 pci-x 16 slots, the others don't and it uses the superior chipset for S. bridge the amd710. All budget boards but the last has clearly superior features.
