Anyway you really canīt go wrong with these, just take the one which serves best your purposes.
I plan on using an SSD, so would need a board that I can get high clocks from without the SATA giving out as I hear that can be an issue with alot of A75 boards. Also since id be using discrete video a board that is known to support the FM1 Athlon X4's (631,651)out of the box would be good to .. or at least if not fully support them not totally fail to boot if I use one so I could update BIOS.

The FM1 plan is a low cost/low risk option In case i cant get my planned X79 build to work out this week. And by work out I mean a fair few things have to come together just right for me to feel comfortable doing that, hence the low cost/risk backup plan..
