So I have a asus m5a97 le r2 with my amd 8350 (lol). I'm looking to upgrade to an am3+ mobo with a max budget of $150. It also needs to have a front usb 3.0 header and be a decent enough overclocker. I've looked at boards like the asus m5a99 pro r2 and the gigabyte ga 990fxa-ud3 but i'd like some more opinions on this before I make a purchase. Thank you!

Small Update: Its only for gaming and I would also like crossfire support for some future proofing.
