The MSI 990FXA-Gaming would be the "best" for under $150 but is not micro atx.

There are not many Micro ATX boards that are as good a fit for overclocking and high end gaming as the one above which I assume you will be doing with the 8320.

Here are two micro atx's that I found, but would not recommend for overclocking if you plan to.

Asus M5A78-L
ASRock 880GM-LE

the 990 board is good but obviously not matx

the other two

the little asus will run a 8320 if you add a decent cooler that cools the vrm's ( I own the board myself) - however its an old 760g chipset & not ideally suited to 8 cores - its also only sata 2 which will limite data transfer especially on ssd drives.

the asrock - just pish poor quality mate & really old specced.

there is a massive lack of am3+ matx boards,the only modernish chipset one is that 970 series asrock I posted - Im not a fan of asrock but for matx its the best if not the only choice

Personally with an 8 core fx I would honestly advise against going with an matx setup.
