ok i dont really have a budget and yes i use AMD so any reccomendations?
As far as what classifies a "gaming" motherboard... I would think it is just how well you can overclock with it, and if it has 939 socket and SLI. Do you plan on overclocking? As far as a budget goes you could be well over $1,500 with SLI 7800 GTX 512MB. As long as we have a vague window we could help you choose a better motherboard.

Is that $500.00 earmarked for the motherboard alone? The reason I ask is because you stated in your first post that you are building a new PC from scratch, which means all new components. Well depending on what board and CPU you chose anywhere from a third to half of that $500.00 will be spent because you want SLI. You'll also need a good, and I mean good, PSU to go along with the mobo. We haven't even talked about Video cards.

A: Thats alot of money
B: Wattage means next to nothing. Give us amperage and model.
You could get this:

Or this:
