    790FX vs. 890FX vs. 980a

    I want to buy a new mother board for my new computer. Actually I am looking to buy a good motherboard that can help me to get a lot of future upgrades. Like I can be able to add new graphic card and various other hardware as per the need. I am trying to build a gaming pc so that I can get easy upgrades on it. I have found a few models and I need comparison on the same. The board that I am have consider are 790FX, 890FX and 980a. Just want to know which one among this is good.

    Gigabyte 790FX is a good one according to me. It will offer you support for DDR3 memory. But this card comes with AM3 Phenom II socket. There are support for two PCI Express x16 slots which is compatible with ATI CrossFireX technology. Here you are getting simple benefits of using dual card on the same. It is essential to wait back for sometime. Because here AMD is working on some new products. I think they are going to introduce a new chipset.

    MSI just today announced the new 890FX-GD70 board. It is an AM3 motherboard that will also support future processors. This s a high end board that comes loaded with 890FX chipset. And you can add more things on the same. New Chipset means more better output. You can also through bios boost the cpu output by overclocking. But this can be of really high budget so go ahead as per your need.
