Help me pick which one.

Looking at some top contending 780GX boards. 90% of the time on the PC is Gaming and watching movies. I do some video encoding from time to time and i do plan to overclock. I have a 9850BE to use in the board that comes out on top. Also, i havent gotten a straight answer from anyone yet, but with certain motherboards, will the AM3 work on AM2+ boards?



MSI DKA790GX Platinum

Gigabyte GA-MMA790GP-DS4H

Asus M3A78-T

DFI LANPARTY DK 790GX-M2RS



Or would i be better off going with a 790FX board?

All of the boards you have listed are great boards...It kinda comes down to what you want to spend and of your going to o/clock and how far you want to go with it....the 790fx boards are excellent also but more money....So go for the one you like the best , you really cant go wrong with any of those boards you listed....
Early denabs have models that are am3 but have a memory controller for ddr2 and ddr3 and are suppose to be compatable with am2+ boards...later am3 cpu's will be only ddr3 compatable and will only work on am3 boards...you will be good for a while though...
