I like the propus 620: newegg has it with a gigabyte 785 board for $165; I got one with biostar board for $100 less at frys about one month ago, but you'll never see that price again.

Hi, I'm new at Tom's Hardware community. My name's Tom too haha. Never mind about that,

I'm 17 years old, have a part-time job. I love to mod Crysis. But I like to play other next gen games. I'm getting tired of my old computer and have decided to buy new and better parts. I would wanted a new video card but it wasn't easy because my motherboard is an ancient. I needed a new motherboard.
When I went to see newegg.com to search for computer componets. After reading most of reviews, I felt that it was pretty hard to find an excellent budget motherboard that accepts excellent CPU. Most of great motherboard I found are are too costly for my budget.

I found a few great motherboards but it requires DDR3 memory sticks. DDR3 sticks costs me more than motherboard itself. (I already have 4 gigabyte DDR2.)

I came here because I thought you guys would help me find the right ones for my budget range.

System I already have
-Geforce 8800 GTS
-AM2 Motherboard (Upgradable to AM3 but it cannot support 75% of high end processors)
-4 Gigabyte DDR2 (DDR2 800 I believe)
-650 Watts Powersupply

My requirements
-Near-High End QuadCore CPU such as AMD Phenom X4 or Intel i5 or i7 (Provide me CPU name with motherboard too)
-Support many Nvidia GPU even new GF480
-low budget as possible
-please, no DDR3. I dont want to buy 100 buck for 4 gigabyte ddr3. (If its absolutely necessary to get ddr3, provide me cheap and great one.)
-I aim it to be around $250 dollar, $400 dollars maximum.

The link I posted above is a really nice motherboard and a good cost I bought it for my new PC I have.
