I have built a system online and I wonder if the ga-990xa-ud3 will be much better than the ga-970a-ud3p... in my country they have 10 euros difference but does the ga-990xa-ud3 perform better or isn't the extra 10 euros worth it?

system:

case: Bitfenix Comrade
cpu: fx 6300
gpu: r9 270 OC
hdd: WD 1TB
psu: corsair power supply VS 650W
ram: G.skill ripjaws 8GB CL7 1600

I gonna overclock the cpu but not now, maybe in 3-4 months when I buy a new cpu cooler...

The more expensive board has AMD's higher end chip set that gives a few extras over the other board, however looking at them the cheaper board is newer and has support for your FX 6300 out of the box, however the more expensive board will need a bios update according to their...

Personally, I'd recommend getting the cheaper board as it looks decent and will work out of the box.

Yeah I don't want to buy it and then upgrade things, I thought maybe the 990 chipset mobo would be better for overcloking, but maybe only minor changes in overcloking

Yeah buddy, cause I think that maybe 2 gpu's cause problems to the system (overheating, not nice airflow etc.) and why should you not sell your old gpu and then buy a new-better one, because not all games can use CF so the second gpu sometimes won't help....
