Suggest a motherboard around 3K -AMD

[Power_user_EX]

Hi , Plz suggest a mobo around 3 to 3.5k for AMD proccy (AM3).

What i expect
1) Shud OC
2) HT - 5200 MT/s
3) DDR3 Support
4) One PCI-E x16 slot
5) two PCI SLOTs
6) With AM3 Socket
7) with core Unlocker / ACC

My current bet -Asus M4A78LT-M-LE (is this mobo future proof enough ?)

I have googled for Asus mobos but don't know about Gigabyte , DFI , Biostar mobo offerings.

It would be gr8 if u actually give me a list of mobos and not pin-pont any 1 mobo!

-thx

don't buy Asus board. crappy board & crappy service, thanks to Rashi. for 3-3.5k & AM3 you can try your hands on Biostar TA785G3. this board hard to find but still maybe in stock & fulfills all your needs. market price close to 3.5k.

IMO Asus mobos r any day better than any other brand of mobo. Its just once in a blue moon that some 1 gets a defective peice coupled with crappy service!
BTW i am myself using P5Q Deluxe with out any issues and also its damn stable when i overclock to it limits!

Nyways thax for da reply!

i have settled for Asus M4A78LT-M-LE + Sempron 140 + 2GB DDR3.

I find this combo cheapest considering performance when OCed and upgradability!

asus used to be best..but now they are utter crap..

find people reviews on newegg and see them complain about asus -
sometimes northbridge heats up above 100C
sometimes there are memory probs like dual channel probs
sometimes there are audio problems
sometimes there are broken retention bracket probs
and more........................................

so wishing you a problem free life with your asus mobo.

Don't go for ASUS mobo now a days. They are even having problem with the BIOS. Their quality deteriorates a lot
