AM3 motherboards with USB 3.0 and Sata 6GB? Ram?

In the process of building a new testing / review rig for use with our reviews here. With this rig we will be 80% complete on the latest processors. I need some help selecting the Motherboard. Right now I am leaning heavily towards the second one on the list. It has all my requirements and has AMDs latest chipset the 890. Your thoughts?

You're welcome... :up:

I cant say thank you enough my friend.

Is their any reason you're not choosing the 125w version of the 965 over the 140w? just kinda curious

Yea because I am getting the 140W at an unbeatable price from a friend. Plus for testing purposes I would rather it be a hot as hell cpu. All the better to stress a cooler with.

Yes a killer deal.
