could you point me in the direction of a good, but cheap motherboard? i just want to make sure the mobo is compatible with the parts i have before i buy one
What features do you need! Are you going to use one or more GPU's like SLI or Crossfire and so on. All those boards I linked are great for running a single GPU, AMD or Nvidia.

dont really need two gpus atm i probably will get a second 470 later on, but not now. in terms of features i dont really need many. i just want to make sure my parts will fit, so i dont have to return, etc. like the specs on the mobo that determine wether my video card will fit, as well as the fx 8320. you mentioned am3+ earlier?
