Need a better mobo for my processor, ideas?

[N8T1308]

I have an AMD Phenom X4 9150e processor with a cheap Foxconn board (part of a pre-built computer from best buy). I just bought a new Sapphire ATI Radeon 4870 1gb DDR5 and have installed it onto the Foxconn bored no sweat. But the Foxconn bored only has one PCI Express Slot X16 1.0 and I really want a board with a PCI Express Slot X16 2.0 so that I can use all the bandwidth of my new video card (because I can only use half with a 1.0 slot).

Can someone recommend an awesome board for my processor cause not using all of my video cards potential is killing me lol....

Thanks guys you have always been a great help in the past

dont worry about using all of my video cards potential, your doing that right now. the only benefit i see from switching motherboards would be for you to overclock your AMD Phenom X4 and to get a second 4870 for crossfire x

So im using the full potential of my video card right now even though its a x16 2.0 card in a x16 1.0 slot? im not overclocking or crossfiring in the future by the way

Well, I'll give you my thoughts. I'm new on Techspot and only worked with computers the past year, but have learned A LOT just jumping into the IT field. So this means I have no school education.

*Please keep in mind that I am only considering compatibility with your processor socket type.
