kinda pricey
and:
Newegg.com - MSI K9A2 Platinum AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
less than i paid for my 590.

Thanks. Added.

I'm not sure about the DQ6, because we usually don't recommend that price range for motherboards. But I'll add it anyway.

Reason being, that not much more, and you can get an E6550. I'm assuming you're talking about the low end budget? Besides the E21xx series are very cheap, and will overclock enough to rival the higher models.

The E2180s are always M0, but I've seen the others do quite well, without the M0 stepping.
