Unless you are going to go crossfire or SLI on your video cards, you do not need a 990FX board.

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P has 8+2 phase power, LLC, all OC tweaks in the BIOS and good cooling on the VRU and chipset.

With my FX 6350 and a Corsair H110 I hit 4.950GHz stable, with 4.8375 GHz 24x7 on that board. I was able to boot and browse on 5.06 GHz but it was not stable for more than 10-15 minutes under full load testing.

If you have your heart set on a 990FX board, go with the Sabertooth. It's a very good high end OC board with a reasonable cost and good documentation/community support.

Best overclocking one on that board is the Sabertooth.
