Looking to buy a budget MOBO for my build. I already have the FX 8350 and I will prob be buying a 280x here or a used Radeon 7970 and maybe even a used GTX 770 if I can find one for around 200ish,

Newegg has the MSI 990FXA-GD65V2 for $59.99 after a $30 mail in rebate.

Would you recommend this MOBO or would you say to look for a mobo around the $100 price range?

That is a nice board on your budget,I think you should go that board.Just put more budget on video card would be good,pick like R9 280X 3G or GTX770 4G would be batter.

Maybe SLI/CF down the line but for now no. Is it just the brand that you don't like or is there something actually lacking with the features?
