I've got an AM3+ processor and want to grab a motherboard with this paycheck. Anyone have any ideas what's decent before I start rifling through Neweggs sales.

What's your RAM requirement?

Any of these ASUS boards are a good choice <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007625%2050001315%20600138080">http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi ... 0600138080</a><!-- m -->

My next suggestion would be anything Biostar. Unfortunately Newegg only has one Biostar MOBO capable of running AM3+

Then if you must you can go with MSI <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007625%2050001312%20600138080">http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi ... 0600138080</a><!-- m -->

They're trust worthy when they work, but getting support from MSI for an MSI product is by far the worst experience I've ever had. I had to send in my girlfriends laptop that I got her (Which is an MSI) for RMA Service and they were just horrible. Asus is so much better. If there's a company you want to deal with when your shit breaks I'd recommend Asus.
