Again, like mentioned in another thread, you must have a really good reason to stick with AMD at the moment.

Given that AMD isn't the hot topic at the moment, I don't have an mATX board in mind...

Look what I found for a little bit more money. It's way lower than on most other sites, but I didn't read the fine print. And I think I saw free shipping. Also newegg has this for almost $50 more. I had found a phenom X3 for same price, but looks like it sold out already.

less than $75 and it has sound card and on board graphics in case you don't have the video card you want yet.

This one supports faster ram

Between the 2 you are under $200 with shipping

Edit: If I were to ever build a M-atx machine it would probably look like this
http://www.directron.com/k9a2gmfih.html <- Mobo
http://www.directron.com/khx8500d2k22g.html <- Ram
http://www.directron.com/adx6000czbox.html <- CPU

I love shopping but my wife won't let me build another computer for a while.

If you are gaming, I might throw this on there as well. Free shipping again!

Similar card but less, don't know on shipping.

Would still keep it under $350, and you would be able to play most games out there. I have a slightly less performing machine and play most games at high resolution
