Any opinions on which motherboard to go with my AMD FX 8320?
ASUS M5A92 R2.0 AM3+ or ASRock 970 Extreme 4 AM3+? Or if anybody has any other suggestions in that price range, I am all ears
I will eventually get into some overclocking.

I would suggest the GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 AM3+ for $103.99 it has native support for 1866Mhz DDR3 RAM, dual BIOS, 8 pin CPU Power Connector. Gigabyte has a better reliability rating than Asus and quality to match... ASRock has an even better reliability rating while comming third in populatity, so the ASRock motherboard you're considering is also a good choice but it's native RAM support is lower at 1333Mhz so based on that it would be my third choice.

That's different, that Asus M5A97 R2.0 is up to par with the Gigabyte but I would still pick the Gigabyte for the dual BIOS, and two USB + one PCIe X1 ports more than the Asus... besides it's nicer looking and according to a poll taken here, Gigabyte came up with a better reliability record.
