Like title says. I've read many pages on which is best mobo only comparing 2. I want to know which is the best mobo with 970 chipset for 6300. Case has front 3.0. I want to overclock CPU but not GPU. I don't plan on SLI/Crossfire.

Here are my current specs: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2hHnV

These are the mobo's I want to compare.

Asus: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131873

The Asus M5A97 R2.0 usually retails around $90 and works really well with my FX-6300. If you're looking at Asus that's pretty much it before you get to the M5A99 (990) which retails over $140 typically.

I wanted to make it a cheap PC, I should've added that. I'm not really high on money. I wanted 970 chipset because it's cheaper then 990 from what I've seen. Also I've read 970 is good with 6 core and 990 isn't really necessary. I have seen those mobos and they seem too overkill for what I need, maybe 970 is overkill too. I'll add more to my needs I suppose

The reason I don't go with 990 chipset is because I read it isn't necessary for six core. BASED on reading: 970 is to 6core as 990 is to 8core. that's sort of what I'm based off, but if there is a big reason why 990 is better let me know!
