Good Day Fellow Geeks.... :whistle:

I would like some advice on which mobo would be best for my budget.

I am obtaining the AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition and have a budget of £70 set aside for a mobo.

Could you please advise which would be the best?

Any advice will be welcomed with open arms. :hello:

Kindest Regards

I got a M4A78T-E, it's a great board overall and fairly stable with the latest BIOS. Still I think Asus released a new AM3 board to replace this one... I can't really tell, but Asus have worked hard to upgrade their AM3 motherboard quality. I would say go with them.

I would need the ability to crossfire as i'm using 2 x 512 Radeon x1950 Pro's and would like to integrate these into the new system

Also, I would need the ability to crossfire as i'm using 2 x 512 Radeon x1950 Pro's and would like to integrate these into the new system.

May look into overclocking at a later date.

Not sure where i will get my mobo from as i'm unsure of which to go for atm.

Those are dated cards and i think even a single HD 3870 could outrun those in CF :p Alternatively depending on where u at the premium from 955BE-->965BE may be a tad high so why not

955BE
Gigabyte 770T-UD3P
2 x 2 ddr3 1333 cl7 RAMs

and depending on if you plan to game and if so what resolution is it to take place wwe can suggest a solution on the GPU front?
