There are no AM3+ ITX board yet. These are good boards with a decent price http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128615   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132028  or if you want to go a little more expensive you can get an impact which IMO is completely worth it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132039

It depends what the system is going to be used for--and your budget.
