At the moment considering of upgrading mobo/ram/cpu. Currently on a S939 Athlon 64 3200+.

Anyways my budget for these 3 parts are around about 300 and im torn between either a Q9550 or Phenom II 940 Black Edition.

I know the performance between these cpu's are simliar and was wondering what motherboard you would recommend for the AM2+? Would it be better to extend my budget a bit more for socket AM3 board and a 945?

Thank you for any help :)

oh and inb4 i7 ;)
 
Dont think i can stretch as far as 365 for the 955 as i need to get a cheapo dvd drive and wireless card.

What board for the 940 would be recommended?

I've spent months slagging off the 940 to one of my mates who has it and im now considering buying it :o
