What would be the best motherboard for budget of around $180 or so for overclocking the 8350 and also has good features for a gaming pc along with good overclocking features. I was looking at an ga-990fxa-ud3 or ga-990fxa-ud5. Is there another motherboard that has the same features or better features for a price near or cheaper.

But honestly, I'd opt for a better card. That thing will limit you hard on newer titles.

Note: Intel mobo, if you're thinking of AMD i'll find another, but Intel makes the best processors in my opinion. An i5 would be a nice match, even if you got a better card. The R9 290 is around $400 and would pack a nice punch, especially with an overclock, the R9 290X is only $60-100 more.

I assume you mean 8350FX, not the Radeon 8350 GPU. MY BAD LOL. Okay, the Z97 I listed will serve your purpose and more.

I also thought you were planning a build, not a mobo upgrade. I have way too much free time.
