Hi I'm building a budget PC for gaming and light rendering and I'm looking for a good mobo for it here's my build:
CPU AMD FX 8320
GPU R9 270(x) MSI Gaming 2 GB (depends on the price)
Ram Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2x4GB) 1600 Ghz CL9 Dual Channel
Case Corsair Carbide 200R
HDD Western Digital (WD) Caviar BLUE WD10EZEX 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache HDD
PSU EVGA 600B 600W Bronze PSU
Monitor Samsung SyncMaster 22 inch
Now I'm looking for a good mobo, and I found 3 candidates :
MSI 990fxa-gd65, Gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3 and the Asus M5A99X Evo (I don't know if we have pro version in egypt)
http://www.egprices.com/ this is where I'm getting my stuff.
I heard also bad reviews for the msi and gigabyte on stuff like DOA and bad power management and I don't know if the gigabyte one is Rev 4.0 as it's the most good one.
So to sum up my question is which is better considering if I didn't find the pro version of Asus mobo.
PS: I'm gonna overclock both my CPU and GPU in future and I might also Xfire my GPU.
Thanks in advance

If you didn't build your computer, a better build can be gotten. If you already built it, though, the Asus would be the best bet as the company makes good motherboards.Nope, I didn't build it yet but unfortunately I'm on a budget that's why it's so mediocre and it might serve its purpose for 2~3 years, but it if there's a better build than this at the same budget hit me with it
, but the worst part is I'm not only building the case, I'll have to also buy the peripherals which are also costly in here.
I know prices are much cheaper on amazon and newegg but even if I bought from amazon I'd pay twice the amount of money for customs xD .

Ok, so I found the Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 but it's a little more expensive than all of the previous mobos but it's ok as long as it's good so now the battle is between now :
MSI 990FXA-GD65 900 LE (125.8 $) or
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 1120 LE (156.6 $) or
Asus M599X Evo 1100 LE (153.8 $) or
Asus M599FX PRO R 2.0 1350 LE (188.8 $)
considering I'll overclock my CPU when I get a good cooler in the future and the GPU also !
And I'm not looking forward to crossfiring my GPU so Should I just buy 970/ 97 mobo and save money ?

Added this one to the build as it's the cheapest 270x in the list even cheaper than the r9 270x MSI gaming one and Sapphire are cool when it comes to AMD.
my family is gonna kill me cause that's a 1000$ (7000 LE) build (by today's currency)._.
Thanks guys

Sapphire are very good , for a cooler and fans if you can find them at a good price Deepcool UF 120 OR UF 140 are great fans , equal to Noctua , I run both , as for budget cooler Deepcool S-40 paid $18.00 , keeps my 8530 under 45C all cores maxed out Gamaxx 300 I paid $13.00 also works but temps hit 52c all cores maxed

I also would avoid Cooler Master as they use sleeve bearings, which are one of, if not THE worst type of bearings.Have to agree , go with Arctic or Corsair , Noctua are big $$ not sure they are worth it , not after getting the deepcool UF .
Main thing to look at are the type bearings used , avoid sleeve . I have some fans still going strong after 5 years 24/7
Cougar make some good fans as well
And thanks , because of you I looked up fans and picked up 2 deepcool uf 120 for 11.00 each, instead of the usual 20.00 or 28.00 for noctua .
