New Gaming Build

[Neolakis]

My question is, what motherboard should I get?

I was looking into it myself, but wanted to make sure my build will work together correctly. Let me know if there is anything is missing, incompatible, etc. I am open to other similar CPUs if I can get a CPU and MoBo combo. My goal for this build is an okay gaming computer (27" monitor), that I can also do virtualization on for software development. Thank you.

MoBo (Haven't Picked Yet)
Needs to support AMD processor and Radeon Video Card with PCI-Express 2.0 x16 bus interface

RAM (Haven't Picked Yet)
2 x 2 GB

CPU ($165)
AMD Phenom II X4 955 HDZ955FBGIBOX 3.2 GHz/6 MB L3/125W Processor

Power Supply (Already Bought) ($70)

Here's what I recommend:

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-790XTA-UD4 $125 after rebate (assuming you want Crossfire support)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 2x2 GB 1600 mhz CAS Latency 7 $120
GPU: HD 5770 $150. The 5770 is basically a 1-to-1 ratio for price to performance over the 5750 ($1 gets you a 1% performance increase). The 5750 is not a gaming card.
