Could someone recommend a good mother board for a sandy bridge and one for a AMD AM3 socket. I have 6 gb of corsair ram 3x2 that I want to use. I would like dual gpus now or later. I have a sound card on order(should be here before build). Will overclock. Thanks.
 
Asus P67 based board for socket 1155 SandyBridge cpus has been well received...; I'd not even consider an AM3 cpu/mainboard board unless limited to a $500-$600 budget

Be advised, however, the Asus board is dual channel memory access, so, either sell a stick, or add another, or, take a performance hit for running something other than 2 or 4 modules.... (The socket 1366/x58 mainboards are triple channel, and are best with 3 sticks)
