I have 2 systems that I play BF2, CSS and soon BF3 on, A work system and a Home System. I want to upgrade my Home systems motherboard, which is the better system to begin with, and then after I upgrade that system then I want to take that motherboard and put it in my work system.

Work System:

BioStar A760GM2+ Motherboard
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 655 Processor ~800MHz
Corsair XMS2 DDr2 1066Mhz 4 GB RAM
500 GB Hitachi SATA HD
ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series
LG Flatron E2250V LED
Thermaltake TR2-600W
Cheap Case, Upgrading soon. it doesn't get good airflow but CPU temps are good.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600)


Home System:

BioStar T-Series A790GX A3+ ver. 5.1
AMD Phenon II X4 970 3.5Ghz Black Edition
Patriot 4 -4GB DDR3 1333Mhz
500 GB SATA HD
Ati Radeon HD3870 X2 1Gb
LG Flatron E2350V LED
Cooler Master CM-690 II case (Air Cooled)
Antec TPQ-850 watt PSU
Windows 7 Professional 32bit

So my question is:

What Motherboard would you recommend upgrading to?
I am kind of wanting to stick with the CPU I have at home and just get a better motherboard. I have an extra AMD Phenon II X4 965 Black Edition. I feel that the motherboard is the component that is restricting my gaming on my home system and the Motherboard and CPU is hindering my play at work.

I realize moving the home stuff to my work system I am still going to have the problems but I can deal with them better while at work.


I would like to keep the price around 200.00 bucks for the motherboard.


Thanks,
