I am really adamant on getting this board but it is out of stock everywhere that I trust. It's the perfect colour for the build I want and the gaming ports, sound blaster, the KillerE2200 Networking and everything about it seems so good. It also supports SLI, has exact amount of SATA 3 ports I want etc. Should I get a different board or just be patient?

Here is my build:

No I am not. I am thinking of the 970 motherboard chipset. You are thinking of the gtx 970, while I mean the motherboard chipset.

Is it still a good board to get?

Do you personally know of anyone or have you used this motherboard before.

It's a decent board with a 6+2 power phase design , and the only 970 board that supports DUAL cards.

Uh I don't know much about power phase but I know the second bit is great :D 

They dragged me in with their gaming usb ports and the sound blaster thing. Also because of how beautiful the board it.

that motherboard from scan.co.uk is £69.56 but charges 9.58 postage
from Amazon uk, it's £74.55 with free postage... works out cheaper

It's a nice board if you plan to SLI the GPU

It's the only 970 board on the market that will SLI \ Crossfire.

Very sweet looking board . I agree.

The power phase design is 6+2 , my bad but still a great fit for the 8320.

I am a complete "noob" at overclocking so I will only be doing the juiciest bits being to get that 4.4ghz overclock and then never touch it again.

There is an option for £3.99 where they UPS or something drop it off to a newsagent literally a few hundred metres from my house so I was going to do that but I am not even sure if it's legit :S

Sounds good , once you get it stable you leave it alone.

Have you ever overclocked an FX 8320? I would love an easy guide from you if you have whenever I get all my parts.

I read a lot of guides asked questions in forums and watched tons of video , before I attempted any overclocks.

I have 2 FX setups.

Here's my Sabertooth overclock.

You can slightly overclock it after putting in an aftermarket CPU cooler with no issues. I think YouTube is your friend.
