Thoughts on this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130754

That's the one my buddy came up with when I told him what you pointed out.

That motherboard does not have the correct socket for your CPU. You need something with an AM3+ socket, not FM2.

Look for a motherboard from Asus or Asrock that uses the 970, 990X or 990FX chipset.

Good, quick choices would be the Asus M5A99FX Pro that Alereon mentioned, or the Asus M5A99X EVO.
