I found a few motherboards
by Gigabyte which i seemed to like very much

GIGABYTE GA-790XTA-UD4 AM3 AMD 790X SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

its only 160 bucks, and its got new usb 3.0 and sata 6gb/s connectors
im not sure if they will be usefull to me since i dont have any hardware that uses usb3 or sata 6gb but im guessing when they do come out soon, ill have something that is compatible with them

its either that or the

Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P Socket AM3

which is only 130 bucks but seems to be more poppular or older since the xta only has 9 reviews and no proffessional reviews on the web

I looked them up, but the one with usb 3.0 is DEFINITELY more worth it.
Usb 3 is amazing, apparently it's 20 or so times faster than usb 2 which was like 40 times faster than usb 1.0.

DEFINITELY THE FIRST ONE.
The socket AM3 is older and is less and less used in computers now.

I suggest the first one, 30 bucks is not that much but the motherboard is far better.

Go with that, USB3 will soon get old and all computers will have 3.0.
Plus this card apparently gives better peformance overall.

But really, USB3 is extremely worth it.
