in usa this mobo is $70 and £60 in my uk, I know everything is cheaper in america, but maybe there is something i could get better with £60 than just asus m5a97 le r2.0 or something close to asus m5a97 le r2.0 but for less

The Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P has a beefier power phase, 8+2, as opposed to the ASUS's 4+2, so overclocking will be better, it is mostly black so fits most builds for looks, and has more PCI-E x1 slots if that matters to you. Not to mention two more USB 2 ports.

Not really. ASUS makes the best boards, even the budget ones. You can always get a new board if you decide to do more.

The ASUS has PCI X16, and you can over clock on it.

Well then you have not had real garbage. How about a MSI 970A-G46 as an example of bad? Or a G45?
