I would pick MSI 970 GAMING ,Tier One-Class A board ,have nice heatsink ,6+2power phase would good for overclocking ,nice quality and good value.

Motherboard tier list: 970 chipset
Tier One-Class A: Very High quality. Great boards for OCing, have optional SLI capability but more importantly can OC FX 8 well, if you have to get a 970 chipset board, these will be your top choice. High quality, and no overheating issues.

Motherboard: MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($99.89 @ Newegg)
Total: $99.89
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
