A little while ago I posted here looking for advice on a new build, and was given some very excellence suggestions, giving me a good build for under $700.
However, the case, power supply, motherboard, and CPU were all part of two combo deals, which seem to have ended. It all added up to about $305, which made the cheap build possible. Not worried so much about the case and power supply, but the main problem is separately, I can't afford both a decent motherboard and CPU.
The CPU was "AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor" which I rather liked the sound of.
Basically, can anyone recommended a decent motherboard that would support a processor that meets or is a bit better then the one listed?
EDIT: If it matters (and I'd imagine it would) I won't actually be ordering the parts until mid to late august.
EDIT2: Also, any input on a rectified build I put together would be nice.

You have to wait until August then because the combos reset and come back each month, I had the same problem a while ago.
I figured...
How is the build list I have currently though? Since I'd imagine separate parts are a [i]bit[/i] more likely to stick around then the combos.
HEC PSUs are fucking shit, avoid them at all cost, aswell as the 550 ti being a piece of shit.

Alright, and if the 550 really is shit, what would you recommend as a replacement?

Corsair makes godly PSU's, but most of their models have a pricetag to match that statement.

I'll keep that in mind, but I was referring to the graphics card.

Forgive the idiotic question, but how is that better then what I've got currently?

Gets worse the higher you go in resolution.
That's interesting actually, but alright, 460 it is.
