Hello, please help me decide which AM3+ board is the best one for the job. Already decided to settle on AMD, now just wanting to find out which is the best AM3+ motherboard for the job and for possible future steamroller upgrading.
Not planning on OC'ing or SLI or Crossfire. Will be using the internet, using MS Office, light gaming (FIFA, racing, nothing too hectic).
Right now going to pair the board with an AMD Athlon2 X3 450 (3.2 GHz); 8Gb (2 x 4GB) G.Skill 1600MHz DDR3; 1TB HDD; GeForce 460GTX; Antec TP2 480Watt PSU.
These are the choices of motherboards:
ASUS 970 M5A97 R2.0
ASRock 970 Extreme4
Only considered these two as brand and stock availability is a bit limited over here, and haven't really considered 990 boards as I said because I wont be OC'ing or doing any SLI or Crossfire.
Please help me decide which one is best and why?
