Motherboard compatability

[supermonkeyskate]

Im looking to get a AMD Phenom II X6 1090T processor and a ATI Radeon HD 5870 2gb graphics card. How can I find the motherboard I need to fit these components?

just check computer component retailers site like newegg, ebuyer etc

look for socket am3 motherboards, and any boards you are interested in just check the cpu compatibility list

So As long as it has a pci express 2.0 x16 connection its good? Im a complete newbie ;/

SO this would be ideal? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131402

How much you want to spend on a board?

the board you listed is ok but some of its standards are older, its sata 3gbps you should try and get a sata 6gbps board, it also has usb2.0 you should look at boards with usb3.0, these steps will make your system as future proof as possible
