hello, its been long since i am planning to upgrade my system, and now i am finalizing and ordering products.
so far,i have finalized

AMD FX 8350
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1866 MHz Desktop RAM(CMZ8GX3M1A1866C10) [later i ll be buying one of this so total will be 16 GB]
nvidia geforce 9400gt [i currently own this, so it will be better if any motherboard supports this one so no need to buy newer GPU]

and now i am confused to which motherboard should i choose ?

ASrock 970 extreme4 or Asus m5a97 evo r2.0

i am building this PC for high end usage , and i wont be doing any overclocking , i just want high performance machine with stability to run day and night without needs to reboot.

but after reading http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1964596/asus-m5a97-asrock-970-extreme.html

i am more confused to whether should i go for 970 or 990 chipset, as suggested in above topic. but this ASUS EVO model is newer and better than old models i guess.

so i would like to know which motherboard is better for AMD FX 8350, non overclocking. ( price isnt much issue if its not big difference).

Thanks for your time.
