GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail ($114.99)

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Model HDZ955FBGIBOX - Retail ($189)

It is just a tad over $300 but well worth it

GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail ($114.99

I would stay away from the "H" boards: GA-MA790GPT-UD3H
Only 5 phase VRM

This board is better.
GIGABYTE GA-MA790XT-UD4P ($124.99)
($109.99 after $15.00 Mail-In Rebate)

I'd put one of these on there:
AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz ($169.99)

$294.98
$274.98 after mobo rebate

There's $400 worth of board and CPU you've listed there. How does that save $100???

I think he meant save up the money, so as to spend more.

Ahh...lol I think you're right.

Funny how one little word can change the context of a sentence.
