Compatability Problem?

[kavorka19]

Does anyone see a conceivable problem with me pairing a Phenom II X4 955 (here) with a BioStar TA790GX (here)?

My friend just bought a whole new rig and gave me his old setup, listed above, because he said there was some kind of compatibility issue.

After checking the CPU support list from the Biostar website, I don't believe that the X4 955 is supported, even with a BIOS update.

Any suggestions on a resonably priced motherboard that would work? Nothing fancy.

9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video? UEFI? etc.

Bah. I should have known better!

RAID, SATA 6Gb/s, and onboard HDMI would be nice, but not mandatory

I recommend either of these mobos if you really need onboard HDMI:

Or if you want to gamble, there's always open box:
