BUT DONT LISTEN TO ME IM STUPID
The performance difference between the 790FX and 890FX is negligible; he'd gain DDR3 compatibility, 6 GB/s SATA, AM3 support, etc. all of which Under can't even use. And if he were to get DDR3 RAM, a SSD, an AM3 CPU which would be required with an 890FX motherboard, then we're talking about an entire system overhaul at which point he should just go with a Z68 and i5 2500k system that can utilize SSD caching.
I'm pretty sure Under just wants to upgrade a component or two not his entire system. Also, Under you easily can and should over clock your CPU with that motherboard.
