OK, so after some overclocking adventures, my MSI 880GM E-41 motherboard died. Now, I am looking at getting a new, better motherboard. Currently, I have three options chosen, a Gigabyte GA-990XA UD-3 ($140), Asus Sabertooth 990FX ($195), and Asus Crosshair V Formula ($230). Can anyone steer me toward or away from any of those boards?
OR, would it make more sense to wait and upgrade to Ivy Bridge or Sandy Bridge E, and just get a good enough AM3 board for now? I am unsure of what exactly each platform is bringing to the table. I have heard all the rumors, but know nothing concrete. So any/all information about the three platforms would be awesome Also any info on pricing would be cool as well; as I think Sandy Bridge E will be out of my price range (if it brings the successor to the i7-900 series, and therefore the next $1000 CPU).
So, I guess bottom line is this: Bulldozer, Sandy Bridge E, or Ivy Bridge. And if Bulldozer, what motherboard?
