Can't decide between the two..
I half-accidentally bought a AMD FX 4100.. (though at half the price)
I already have a dedicated music-pc (i5 3570K), but I needed a new internet/photoshop/casual gaming-pc..

So, I now have a AMD FX 4100 and need a motherboard for it..
I was planning on getting the cheaper ASROCK 960GM-GS3 FX, but then I read that the MSI 760GM-E51 can unlock extra cores on the FX 4100.. however.. the MSI has got a lot of negative reviews on Newegg (I'm in Sweden so I won't be ordering from them) and I don't know if it's worth the risk..

Prices:
ASROCK 960GM-GS3 FX = 45€
MSI 760GM-E51 = 61€

There are of course (most likely) better MoBos at higher prices, but those I mentioned are probably good enough for what I need..
Thanks!

Another contender, that is even cheaper and can unlock cores, is: ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2, Socket-AM3+

Meh, I went with the Asrock 960GM-GS3 FX.. I shouldn't have to worry that it's not updated for FX use..
