Help me pick the right motherboard please

[id_mew]

Hi, I'm a bit confused on finding the right motherboard.

 

See, I have AMD 955 Black edition CPU witch is an AM3 CPU, and I'm using in on an Asus M4A78-EM Motherboard witch is AM2+ motherboard.

 

I just got a EVGA gtx 570, and I want to be able to do future SLI.

 

So witch motherboard can I use my 955 CPU witch is Socket AM3 and be able to SLI two gtx 570s?

 

My budget is between $100 to $220.

 

I would like to have DDR3, and USB 3.0 for features if possible.

 

And I would like to get it from this Website: http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?cPath=26 becasue I have a $100 credit.

 

Thank you for all your help.

None of the AM3 motherboards on your desired site support sli.

To do sli on an amd system you have to have an nvidia chipset, such as the 980a.

Thank you for your reply.

Can you please provide me a link to that motherboard?

These motherboards are all sli ready, though they are on newegg.

And by 980a, i mean the name of the chipset itself, not the motherboard.

Looks good to me. If i was going to run sli on an am3 system, it's what i'd get.

Im gonna go read some professional reviews on it as well.

Bad news, none of the motherboards on that page i linked you support your ram. You'd have to buy ddr3 to make it work.

Yeah I knew that, that`s one of the other reasons I want to upgrade too.

but I`ve read everywhere that the performance gains from DDR2 to DDR3 is minimal.
