Need a cheap S939 board

[dewa]

Hey guys, could I get some help in picking a motherboard. My current motherboard short-circuited and currently have a 3500+ venice cpu. Thinking of putting that into another computer once i get the motherboard fixed. In the mean time i'm thinking of upgrading my main rig to a opteron 165 cpu so i can reuse my current parts to last me a bit longer.

Have these components to reuse:
x-fi xtrememusic sound card
evga oc 7800 gt gpu
2x1gig ddr400 plat 2-3-2-5 ocz ram
antec neopower 480w psu
antec p180 case
250gb sata hdd

What I need is a 2nd motherboard for the opteron 165 cpu and the components above. Any boards you guys will suggest? Also, will I be able to get the opteron 165 to atleast 2.5ghz with the above ram? I keep hearing I need ram that is ddr450. Havent played much with overclocking but hoping to do so with the opteron.

Thanks for any suggestion you guys have, going to buy the motherboard + cpu this friday/saturday.

edit1: forgot to mention I also have a si-120 hs for my cpu. I do not require sli motherboard and only need 1 pci slot for the sound card.

I have seen a few recommendations for this one, if you want real cheap.. I went for this one, and have been pretty happy so far. I haven't got my new video card yet, so I haven't really tried to push it yet, but the onboard Geforce 6100 video seems adequate for non gaming purposes. It has actually gone up in price in the past week or two, but it seems to be a stable reasonably fast board. Only drawback is only 2 PCI slots.

Yup, I agree with novice above. Great mobo....I have two.

It's tough to beat the MSI Neo4-FI linked above. I'm running them in both my home and work systems.
