Solution
AM3+ doesn't come with 3.0 , there is no difference in performance from 2.0
6+2 power phase design is decent for overclocking.
SLI and Crossfire ready.

It's going to be a little out of the price range, but if you're planning on overclocking a 990FX board would be better.
I personally like Gigabyte's 990FXA-UD3 (which I use for my FX-8320). It's not too much over your limit (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga990fxaud3) at about $110.

spdragoo has it right. the GA-990FXA-UD3 is very well received among FX 8320/8350 users. It has what a CPU like that needs in terms of power delivery and VRM design, as well as a decent Power phase design at 8+2+2 i believe.
And i am guessing here but maybe there is a reason it is on rev. 4 and it keeps selling... and very little has changed , aside from the look.
