I have an old Phenom X4 9500 that i have and want to get a good overclocking motherboard. What should I use? It needs to be 790X or some other overclockable chipset, with good VRMs so I can push this processor as far as possible.

Asus boards tend to be pretty good, as do Asrock's.

any specific ones?

I haven't done a lot of looking into their 790X boards, but anything midrange to higher end will do the trick.
