Hi,
I am deciding between two motherboards for the AM3+ FX-6300 to overclock.
One being with a 970 chipset but with an 8+2 power phase, capable of overclocking.
I can get this with the 6300 for only $49.99.

The other is a 990fx chipset also from gigabyte, that can crossfire/sli and maybe can overclock better with the larger vrms..? I can bundle this with the 6300 for $94.99.
I do not know if I want to crossfire/sli in the future. My first gpu will be a r9 270. The Asus boards were an option for me, but the 970 Asus isn't the correct size and the 990 is a little pricier than the gigabyte.
Is the 990fx mobo worth the extra $45 o or are there any other better boards to overclock at those prices?
Thanks,
Isaac
