Hello i need a motherboard for my Phenom II X4 965 black edition. my biostar N68S3+ doesn't support it so i need a new one. any suggestions on which motherboard should i buy?
 
Uhm... If you can sacrifice some Mhz and do some undervolting, you might not need a new MoBo.

If that's not the case, then any AM3+ based MoBo that explicitly says "125W CPU support" somewhere is fine.

The ones that are on top of my head are the Asus Sabertooth and Crosshair Formula series (790FX, 890FX and 990FX chipsets). Well, most full ATX MoBos should, actually.

Cheers!

Well since i don't want to spend more than 70$ on a motherboard i'll go with the Gigabyte GA-780T-D3L it has everything i need and costs 50$
AM3+ socket, SATA2 and 3 support, IDE port for my ATA Pioneer DVD RW device and most importantly its not short because i currently have a problem with my biostar since its small and my Radeon HD 6850 covered 2 SATA ports and i could barely plug in my hard drives in the other 2
