I'm doing my first build and was wondering what mobo would be best choice for AMD-8350. It will be strictly a gaming PC. I don't plan on overclocking, but would like sli or crossfire capabilities for future upgrades. I plan on using the Asus R9 280x gpu. As far as gaming goes I like to play fps games (BF4, Metro, Farcry, ect). One thing about the mobo is I've seen reviews of ppl having to plug in old processors to update mobo for the 8350. As this is my first build I don't have that option so a mobo optimized for the 8350 where I could hook it up and turn it on and it be working would be the best. Price does not matter much, but of course a less expensive mobo would be great, but if its not the best option then it doesn't matter. I know this is alot of info but I figure it couldn't hurt. Thanks for the help

Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0. Even handles the FX-9590 processor without problem.

No real budget. Just the best option. The Asus M5A99FX is set up for the 8350? I like the price and the look. Would this be just as good of an option over the sabertooth.
