New build.

[munkman31]

Hi there!
I'm looking to build a new system in the next few days.
I already have the case and CPU.
the CPU is a phenom 9950. Yes that's a first gen phenom.
I need advice for the mobo.
Chances are I won't be going crossfire or sli, but its an option.

My budget is about 1000 dollars.

I got the CPU for free, so I figured why not.

ok, planned for this week, or next
some gaming, but not heavy, more of a workstation/mild internet. more of a media/movie machine.
dont need a cpu, see above. going to get a blu ray player and want hdmi out.
prefer newegg or tigerdirect
will not be overclocking. have not come to a descion on sli or crossfire, if i have the money, and an open pci slot i will.
monitor resolution will most likely be attached to a 1080p 32inch or larger tv.
trying to build it for my dad for his birthday
which is on febuary 13th
