Thanks for your input as I have had to revise my budget down to 150 at the very most. So that board would be out of the question. Any other Motherboards with overclocking abilities for the 6300 and that would accommodate an upgrade later on to 8320 with overclocking abilities and stability. Thanks your input welcome.
My recommendations still stand. One a tight budget, assuming you don't want/need specific features it has, I would probably nix the Extreme9 and get the UD3.
Yeah I have just read some very bad reviews on both of those boards on Newegg.com. So as of right now I am very hesitant to jump at one of them. I did read some good reviews on each as well, but the bad reviews were very bad which is why I feel stuck.
I guess I am probably a little more tolerant of component failure than most, but I usually take Newegg reviews, both good and bad, with a grain of salt. I read through them, looking for reviews with more than "DOA SUPER FAIL!"
Any board can come DOA or fail shortly after the build, it happens with any component. Both of those boards have four "Eggs," as does the Asus. I would suggest this as a read:

It's a fairly in depth review of the boards mentioned here so far.
I had the UD3 in my AMD build. It survived a graphics card shorting it out (multiple times), being hauled 1500 miles in my car as I went back and forth between school and home and to friends' houses, and the overclocking I resorted to once it became apparent how big of mistake I had made in processor choice (FX-6200).
My only complaint is that its BIOS was unusually slow (15 seconds or so) and that it only had one USB 3.0 header.
