Hello,
As the title says I would like a recommendation for a motherboard which will run an fx 8350.
My 1st concern would be that I need to be sure if the motherboard requires or doesn't require a bios update to support the fx 8350.
The budget is around 150$, even though at this price most of the motherboards I saw are designed for overclocking, so I would like to cut the costs a bit, since the cpu won't be overclocked.
Thank you!

Thank you for the answer, but isn't the 990fx the chipset especially used for overclocking? As is the "z series" for Intel?
As I said the cpu won't be overclocked, isn't there one with an older chipset that would support it with the bios it comes? Idk, I'd like to cut the costs as much as possible to be able to invest in a better graphics card, but of course I don't want to get a cheap motherboard and get in trouble with bios or overheating issues.

LE:
Will this one do the job with no bios issues? :??:

Its an older motherboard but also overclocks. Every am3+ mobo overclocks. The 970 isn't as good as the 990fx chipsets. The mobo isn't as good as the 990fx version either.

What do you mean exactly by "isn't as good as 990 fx"? It might get wrecked by the cpu or it might require bios update?
The power supply is 600W and I also want a pretty good gpu as well, so I think OC won't be possible at all.
