@all, OP didn't mention about ram. i guess he having DDR2. so, include or indicate DDR3 pricing with the board.

also for downloading or moderate gaming, opt for Athlon II X3 processors.

is not the 790 board gpu better than thee 785?

this site below was used for referencing for the boards

AMD Phenom II Core Unlocking Guide for X2 550BE / X3 710 & 720BE - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net

790GX better than 785G/780G.

i'll simply suggest, don't go for these unlocking stuff. if you fail, you stuck. better go with the Athlon II X3 or X4s. best VFM proccies right now.
