Hello, Thank you for reading my post.

I'm purchasing a FX-8350 and a motherboard from Microcenter to finish off my new build, I need help choosing the best board for my needs.

I don't plan to crossfire/sli anytime in the near future but i do plan on a small overclock to start maybe 4.4 - 4.5ghz if i'm lucky, then work my way up to a respectable overclock when i get a better cooler than the Hyper 212 Evo.

These are the bundles available:

MSI 970A-G46 for $219.98
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 for $239.98
ASROCk 970 Extreme4 for $239.98
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 for $259.98
ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 for $264.98




 
Solution
ASRock 970 Extreme4 is the best one out of them all.

Supports both SLI and Crossfire and would give you extreme overclocking capabilities too. Somewhere around 5.0 GHz.
