I'm building a PII X4 920 and I have no idea what to look for in a mobo. Looking for a quality mobo, but for under $100 Canadian...so about $80 USD

I do NOT need:

- Overclocking capabilities
- Onboard GPU (although it won't hurt, but if it costs more, then no)
- More than 1 PCI E slot, as I'm only ever going to have one GPU
- DDR3 support (if it has this, great, but again, I'd rather save money if I can)

Not sure if I should go with a 770, 780, or 790 (I think the last one might be out of my price range)
 
well 1 the phenom II 920 isnt an am3 processor.. so ddr3 is out of the question.. also before buying a board.. make sure it can atleast support the 125w phenom I 9850/9950 if it can support either of those then it can support the phenom II 920..

here are some other amd based boards under 100 dollars that may or may not support the phenom II 920.. but the first one i linked i know will..
