Is the ASRock 970 Performance a good motherboard for my PC?

Gaming Freak · Mar 23, 2015

Hello all, I recently purchased a new processor and then I found out that I had to buy another motherboard. So I stumbled across the ASRock 970 Performance and I was wondering if it was a good mobo and if it would work in my build. I really don't want any more surprises so anything you could tell me about the board would be great! Also, if there is a better one for the same amount of money that I don't know about, I will take any suggestions. Thanks!

Here is my build:
AMD FX 8350
MSI Radeon R9 290
8GB RAM
SeaSonic 850w
1TB Hard-drive
250GB Hard-drive

Is this in your price range?

Here's a really nice one.

See its a 990FX series, go with ASUS or Gigabyte their much reliable. Example:
GIGABYTE, cheaper than ASROCK 990FX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514&cm_re=990fxa-_-13-128-514-_-Product
ASUS, same price as GIGABYTE: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131851&cm_re=asus_990fx-_-13-131-851-_-Product
