I'm building a new pc to handle the increased workload and have chosen the following components:
AMD FX-8350
Kingston 32GB Kit
Sapphire R9 280X VAPOR-X

I do a lot of development work and so need to run virtual machines. As such, stability is a must and so, won't be overclocking much.

I've narrowed down to the following 3 mobos:
ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Sabertooth 990fx R2.0
Crosshair V Formula Z

I guess there is not much headroom for expansion.
Which of the 3 would be best ?

P.S: I also do gaming on the system but that's second priority.

All of those are good boards, reliable and stable, as you'd expect from Asus.
Just look at their features and your budget and decide based on that. Either of those 3 will work.

The sabertooth is virtually the same board as the CHVFZ. Save some money, get the sabertooth. Unless you find the CHVFZ cheaper somewhere...
