what will be a good motherboard for amd fx-8350?
i will be playing games on only single graphics cards no sli/crossfire support is required..
also it will be good if the mobo supports overclocking for the cpu

What is your budget? I think a motherboard with sli and cross fire will be really better. As you may not need to upgrade your cpu till next 4-5 years but a gpu upgrade may be necessary. So considering your budget you should get a motherboard.

i am trying to get a gtx 770 and so i want to save as much as i can on mobo/cabinets and stuff so that i can use that part of the budget for the graphics card......and that's why i asked this question.......anyway your reply made me think that maybe some years down the line i may want to incorporate sli/crossfire so yeah it would be better if there were sli/crossfire support right? so any recommendations?
the mobo should also be compatible with the RAM i am choosing:G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL).......thanks in advance

is there any other cheaper mobo available? i can change the RAM too if it does not fit.........you see for gaming graphics is the most important and as i stressed earlier i need to save as much as i can on mobo and cabinets and stuff so that i can purchase gtx 770...

Few days ago this mobo was for $75, don't know why it's price has increased right now. But this motherboard I mentioned is probably the cheapest,
