I need help on deciding which motherboard to go with. I have an AMD fx6300. I plan on overclocking and upgrading in the future. I don't want to spend that much either :/

Here are the motherboards I know of: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157281

Which one should I buy?! Or is there another board I don't know about?

The Rock is far and away a better seller, also far better QC and support than MSI, that's been slipping for years, the Rock passed them for #3 in sales back towards the end of 2010 and continues to climb while MSI continues to lose and slip further back - they need some serious management changes

What is your budget? If it is under 200, get one of these.

Of the four you list the Rock Extreme 3, 990 is the only one with the newer chipset, the other three are all 970, so I'd go with it....or of course you can buy the handy dandy $682 super deluxe ultra fantastic, all round great Hot mobo from Dojo.........sure you've seen them everywhere ;)

Yeah, the Asus will OC, but I hear it's a bit annoying.
