i would go with the sabertooth, first of all it has a 5 year warranty, you cant go wrong with that, it is the best amd motherboard to buy in my opinion, the board can overclock the cpu and gpu very well, and on newegg it goes pretty cheap. i would go to the saber tooth hands down.

Both are good mobos though rather disparate in price - might want to look at the Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0, in between pricewise, has the features tou appear to be looking for and is grat mobo

You posted this topic twice:
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1760323/asus-asrock.html
and this was my reply:
I was contemplating before between Arock Extreme 9 and Sabertooth R2.0.
Good thing I chose Sabertooth.
The 12+2 power phase design of Extreme 9 is actually 6+1 times 2 while you get real 8+2 on Sabertooth.
I also read on forums that Sabertooth has more solid overclocking performance than Extreme 9 and I can atest to that. I am currently OCed at 4.5Ghz while letting the mobo handle the CPU voltage (Auto) and it handles it very well. In fact, the only things I set manually are multiplier and BUS.
The Sabertooth also has better heatsink for northbridge and vcore components.
The extreme 3 should not be considered since it only has 4+1 power phase design.
It's funny that there was a more meaningful explanation why you should get the Sabertooth from hbazzi98 but it seems that you were just looking for someone with the same build as you want.
Your topic should be: "Who has FX8350, Sabertooth and 7970 here?" LOL.
