Hi, I decided to get the Athlon II X3 435 + ASRock M4A770DE ($135).
But with Fry's and Microcenter about an hour's drive away, I'm not sure If I should get one of the deals from them or stick with my initial cpu/mobo online order.
This is Fry's deal :

Microcenter has $30 off from select motherboards if paired with one of these :
Athlon II X4 630 - $100
Phenom II X2 555 BE - $100
Phenom II X3 720 BE - $100
The cheapest board which I think is good with one of these is this :

I am totally confused on what to get. What would be the cheapest and best performing combination? I have a full ATX case and never bought mATX board, so I'm not sure if there will be a problem with that.
