What is the best motherboard for amd FX series under $200. I picked up a bundle fx-8320 with Asrock 970 Extreme R2.0 from microcenter black friday but I need more Sata ports so before I install this board for my new build I want to pick up one now. I for video editing and have been editing on Amd Athlon II x4 for almost 4 years. I use premiere pro and now finished a training in after effects so I will be using this heavily with my Adobe CC. I currently have 16g of 1600 Gskill sniper ram, GTX 650 GPU, dynex 520w power supply the GPU and PSU are from my current HP machine I have been editing on up until now. I already have a 2 silicon power s70 120gb SSDs for adobe and windows 7 ULT and the other for scratch/cache already as well as 2 WD 2TB 7200 HDD for my footage and a 500gb HDD all for my plugins Mattes and overlays and other editing tools. The problem lies is im out of SATA ports there is no room to hook up my blu ray burner or attach my esata port from the front of the case to the MOBO. I need that to work because I will have an external video recorder to save uncompressed video from my Nikon d7100 which uses SSD to hold the recorded files and I need to be able to dump the 100GB of footage to my HDDs and quickly. I might want to add I don't game much. Any suggests for a MOBO sub $200 with more sata ports and has better chipset then 970?
