Best AM3+Board for an FX-8350 thats quality but cheap?

[zooyorksk8er97]

I want to finish my build so bad. I made a mistake of buying a $80 Asus M5A97 LE and it was either DOA or wouldnt support my 8350 so I RMA'd it... im looking for something under $150 thats quality and wont come DOA. I need my build finished.

Very popular and good reviews overall.

However, the first few reviews does say they got DOAs, but the res don't seem too.

The board I have should be easily enough for you: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a99fxpror20

EDIT: The Gigabyte board mentioned above should be great as well.

Good choice getting rid of Asus M5A97 LE it has a very poor thermal design , below is the BEST board in that price range.

ASRock 990FX Killer

Dtick to either ASUS, Gigabyte, or ASRock.

I would stay away from MSI

Cheapest I would feel safe with an eight core would be the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P. Has an 8+2 power phase.
