Looking for a board to go with Phenom II

[Badgi]

It's been a very long time since I've dabbled with computer hardware so I'm a bit out of the loop nowadays.

Anyway, I've decided it's about time I upgraded to a better pc as my existing one is struggling with demand and sounding more like a diesel generator than a pc these days.

My question is, what would be a suitable MB to go with a Phenom II CPU, I'm probably going to go for the X6 1055T (unless someone advises going for the top end X4 for any reason, but that's a dif subject).

I was looking at the Gigabyte AMD 890GX as it's a nice price, is this a good MB to go with? Any other suggestions?

Many thanks

Yea that Gigabyte board is good so it the Crosshair IV Formula Just look up reviews unboxings etc for the boards to see if they are what you want.
