I am going to build a amd 965 quad core system w/win 8 (64 bit) and 8 gigs mem for Corel painter 12 graphics program.
What does money buy me in a MB low end $75 to $150 higher end am3+ sata with or wo video on board. Painter does not use a GPU.
I can't find a reason to spend more $$$
Thanks Wyndham

I take from the above links, you agree that within this price/performance range there's not a lot of differences in the MB, which is what I seem to be coming up with.
These are the same boards I've looked at lately. I've got a 1 gig video from another system that will work as well.

Thanks for confirming what seem to be an obvious choice.
