I have been reading a great bit about this motherboard and I am making my first build hopefully in the next few months.
Is there a cheaper alternative that give about the same performance?
Wanting to pair it with a AMD FX-8320 or maybe a AMD FX-6300 I think the 40$ will be worth the future proofing but don't know for sure.
Thanks in advance guys!

That motherboard is a good choice if you want to go for the FX 8320.
If you are not into overclocking you should check the Asus M5A97 R2.0. I am getting it for my FX 8320 since it's a pretty good board for a good price.

give it a try, might be worth saving ~60$!

Yeah I think I will go with the ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 it seems to have pretty much everything I would like, plus I don't see having to do to much overclocking thanks guy!
