so im planning to up grade my cpu and mb, so far im gonna go with the fx 8320 for the cpu and as for the mb im not to sure, i have these 3 in mine:

Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P
AsRock 970-Extreme4 (does it support fx 8320 & 8350?)
ASUS M5A97-R2 970

so my question is which one is better and why?

not planning to overclock.

Thanks
(they both r the same price)
 
the asrock one doesn't support fx8320. asus' supports fx8320 but bios may require updating. gigabyte's also supports but i am not sure if it'll require a bios update. the features seem quite similar to me...with minor differences like asus having 4+2 power deliver and the other two having 4+1, all of asus' fan headers being 4 pin, asus using alc audoi codec and gigabyte using via etc (according to the specifications lists).
