I am back and forth on which mobo to choose. I will possibly be lightly overclocking, and odds are will no use crossfire but it is possible and i would like the option just in case. Rig will mostly be used for basic computing and gaming. These are what im looking at now.

ASUS M4A79XTD EVO - Have not heard many bad things about this one. plus its cheaper than 790FX board.

MSI 790FX-GD70 - havent heard alot of great things about this one in some reviews including hardocp's.

ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO - any advantages over the 790X other than 20.00 cheaper?

Thanks for reading.
 
might want to look into the MSI 770 boards.. 1 has crossfire support and 1 has regular single card support.. both are under 100 dollars and are great overclocking boards if you decide to not use a black edition processor.. the 790FX is completely pointless if you dont plan to run crossfire.. the 785 evo board has an advantage because its got onboard video so in case something happens with your dedicated card you will have a back up so you can keep using the system.. other then that they are pretty much identical..
