My favorite picks are gigabyte boards atm. Great build quality imo and great driver support. If you call them with a very complicated problem sometimes they literaly put you on the phone with an engineer who then trys to physicly recreat your issue. I avoid enabling any and all "green" options on all boards however especialy gigabyte. For the money and the reliability gigabyte is doing pretty well with the new AMD stuffs.

My votes goes in this order:

1- Gigabyte 790FXTA-UD5
2- ASUS Crosshair III
3- MSI 790FX-GD70
4- ASUS M4A79T Deluxe
5- Gigabyte 790XTA-UD4

Choose one acording with your budget and manufacturer preference.

And a question like this must be created in the motherboards and memory section of the forum.
