Hi there, when you say "wrong" motherboard- what do you mean?

The 955BE will work with the 880G board, it is just a bit on the small side.

However, if you are determined to get a full-ATX board then this would be the board I would go for with that budget.

I preffer full ATX boards

why do you prefer an ATX board over a uATX board? :confused:

If you don't need to add a heap of expansion cards you should be fine? . . . uATX is the future for everyone that doesn't need Multi-GPU! :D

This is a tasty ATX board, backup IGP, Heatsinked 8+2 PWM and PCI-E 2.0 Crossfire 8x/8x . . .
