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 GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 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

Looks good to me, not a lot of USB3 on it but if that isn't a need it isn't a problem. I don't know a lot about the current AMD motherboards so can't really tell you if there is anything better at the price point, just that it looks to be a very solid board and gigabyte have a very good reputation.

I realize you're trying to find the best motherboard, but I think one thread asking for the recommended motherboard for your processor would have been sufficient.

How much of a performance boost will the AMD FX 8350 give me?
