My Question:

I would like to maximize my gaming experience by overclocking my CPU and GPU. Can someone recommend a motherboard for me please? I'm hoping to overclock my CPU to about 4.7GHz. All recommendations and suggestions would be appreciated.

Budget - $250

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Check this MB: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
According to this video :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=112ubcPcFB8
He over clocked to 4.9ghz & his setup was (FX 8350 + ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX + H100i OVERCLOCKING 4.9GHZ).
