Hi what is best motherboard to pair up with a10 7870k? If diference is very, very small i might just pick up cheapest one.
Motherboards i had in mind:
Asus crossblade ranger
Asus a88x-pro
Gigabyte a88x-d3h
Asus a88xm plus
Asrock a88x extreme6+

I plan to overclock my cpu as far as i can with custom water cooling and 360mm or 480mm rad and pump for cpu alone. Will add dedicated gpu later
*most likely R9 380
*if i menage to oc above 5.0 regardless of bottleneck i might add 2nd r9 380 in cf

Build is planed to be budget sided but water cooling components i already have and they currently only collect dust
 
Solution
AND, you WON'T be overclocking above 5Ghz with an FM2+ chip and have a stable overclock. I can pretty well guarantee that. 4.5Ghz would be a good target. 4.7Ghz stable would be exceptional, but unless you get an especially good chip, don't count on it.
