So my old Athlon X2 939 and mobo finally bit the dust and it just doesn't seem worth it any more to try to keep it going. So I am looking for a new Mobo/CPU/RAM combo. Looking out at the landscape now is awfully confusing. I can't make heads or tails of it. Which, is the best chipset if I am looking for a solid board that I could overclock if I wanted to, but I don't need bleeding edge overclocking. I don't plan on doing any SLI or Crossfire. I am thinking I want DDR3 as the prices are the same now for RAM and it would make sense to have newer RAM. I also want decent gaming performance as well as the requisite connectivity.
So what chipset gives all those things in a low price package? 785g? 790X? 770? 790FX? 790GX? I mean what am I getting if I spend more? I ideally would like the price to be sub $100.
