Hello,
I'm purchasing a fx-8350 soon, I need some help picking a motherboard. I don't plan to sli or crossfire any time soon but I'm looking for a board that would be stable and not get so hot overclocking. I have a microcenter for the $40 off combo the motherboards i can choose from are below.
MSI 970A-G46 AM3+ ATX for $219.98
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Socket AM3+ ATX for $234.98
ASROCk 970 Extreme4 AM3+ ATX for $239.98
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 Socket AM3+ 990FX ATX for $267.98
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 AM3+ ATX for $334.98
If i chose the Sabertooth i would have to stick with 8gb of ram, This is more of a editing/rendering machine but i will also be gaming.
Thank you for reading my post, i appreciate all feedback.
These are the parts i have, The only things left are the Cpu, Mobo and memory.
