Looking for a new mobo

[minlian]

Hello, I have Phenom II X6 1090T with Asus M4A785T-M mobo, 8Gigs of RAM at 1333MHz and I'm running Windows 7 ultimate. I was hoping that one of you could suggest me a good mobo as I felt that my proccy's full potential is not being used. I blamed my mobo. I would prefer ASUS mobo with 890, 880 or 870 chipset. I don't know which chipset would serve me best. I'm currently using my comp for editing and transcoding music videos. I would also like to overclock my cpu at 3.6GHz if it can be done only by increasing the multiplier and I don't wanna mess with the voltage settings. Please help.

Here are two motherboards that you can check out and would be on the high end side. The board that you have is the micro style MB , so I don't know if you need the same size or if you could fit a regular size MB.

Thank you. But will 990 chipset support Phenom II X6 1090T? I thought those are for bulldozer

Yes, the AM3+ socket/chipset design is backwards compatible with AM3 processors.
