Well I'm trying to build my first p.c, but I'm having a real issue with figuring out
what exactly to get for a mobo.
I was recommended this one, GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX but ya read one review and its good and the next its bad. I do plan on doing a little OC
This is my build so far,

And here is the case -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153

And if anyone recommends anything different than what I have, I would also appreciate that too!

Here is the link for the mobo too, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128627

Also I cant decide between MSI or ASUS or even Gigabyte for the GPU.
Im hopefully trying to keep my build under $700 or even better $650 (not sure if that will be achievable though).
The price show isn't the exact one with sales and what not on Newegg.
 
For the motherboard GIGABYTE is good, but ASUS is better. The M5A97, or the more expensive, crossfire capable M5A99 are better choices, higher quality, and similar prices to the competitors.
For the card Sapphire or ASUS are the best, cant go wrong with either two.
