I have the 965 myself and I'm using the Gigabyte GA-790FXTA-UD5 w/ 8GB of Corsair XMS3 1600 MHz DDR3. I paid $160 for the motherboard at the time, but it looks like it's gone up ($192 according to Pricecanada.com)

Works really well ... OCed up to 4.1 GHz 24/7 on air (Scythe Zipang 2) ... Most people seem to be able to push them to around 3.8-3.9 GHz w/ a decent motherboard and memory.
