[abhishel777]

Guys can you advise me an alternative to Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3,thing is this board isn't available to the local vendors,so please name them,Also I have heard that this board won't support Intel's CPU's,so if possible suggest me ones that can run even with Intel



My System Specs:

AMD X4 965
(4+2)GB Ram
Sapphire ATI 7850 2gb
PSU to be Seasonic S12II 520 5.2k
or
Antec NeoEco 520 Watts PSU 4.2k check

There are no boards that will run amd and intel cpus, it's one or the other. There are numerous boards that support the 965. Any am3+ board should run the 965.

Intel CPUs cannot be inserted on AMD motherboards. Also AMD CPUs cannot be inserted on Intel motherboards. There is just no way. The platforms are completely different.

Did you at least realize that motherboard is 10 years old and it won't run an AMD processor unless a 'SIMA daughtercard' is added? It's a totally useless motherboard for the OP's requirements.

I didn't know of that...I have been out of touch for 3 years. So please keep on suggesting good alternatives that will run smoothly with AMD X4965

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P.

Maximum votes for GA-970A-UD3P. This motherboard can EASILY handle your CPU. Also you can overclock it to greater extent. It has MASSIVE 8+2 power phase design. Who want to recommend or to vote to this motherboard will vote here.
