Biostar TA790GXE or 790XE

edited March 2010 in Hardware
I am planning to upgrade an E5200 system with another Phenom II X2. I need a AM2+/AM3 motherboard. I don't need Crossfire but I need at least a SB710 south bridge for ACC. The graphics card will be an ATI HD 4850. I recently bought an ASUS M4A77D motherboard and I really like it. But this time, I want to buy a 790X or 790GX motherboard with SB750 south bridge. I found the following two Biostar boards with overclock ability and 4+1 phase VRM. Is hybrid crossfirex capability of 790GX a worthwhile advantage? Or is it a complication for overclocking? Do you have any experience with these motherboards or Biostar T series in particular? Any other suggestions or deals you know? I am planning to order in a couple of days so please let me know.
