nah good choice on the board. Its the one I use in most of my builds for my customers and all I can say is that it is an awesome awesome board. And to the original poster, as Aaron said, the 4890 is indeed much much faster. Its in a different league.

If you dont plan on using the more enthusiast-class features on the 790X chipset though, you could live with the 770 chipset instead. Basically the only thing you lose is the option to crossfire and a little bit of overclocking potential. If both are not something you want/need than go for this board:

Budget Socket AM3: Gigabyte MA770T-UD3P Mainboard Review - X-bit labs

despite the low cost of the board, they managed to get their CPU up to 3.8Ghz. Impressive.

they dont have it on the site that Aaron and I are linking to, but then again it may be on the site that you are getting your stuff from.
