Which Motherboard I should Get
Hi guys

I am using an old Gigabyte motherboard for my AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Black Edition CPU. I would like to keep this CPU and upgrade to a newer ATX format motherboard which will has on board Bluetooth 4.0, USB 3.0 and SATA3 (6GB).

Any recommendations ?

Gigabyte UD3
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 AMD990FX ATX AM3+ DDR3 4PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 1PCI SLI SATA3 USB3.0 Motherboard - Gigabyte - GA-990FXA-UD3

ASUS

No built in bluetooth, that's actually pretty rare, just buy a usb dongle and plug it in at the back. Both have 2 built in USB 3.0 ports at the back, and 2 headers on the board itself for you to add connectors to later. And, both a pretty good performers.
