Hi. I'm building a gaming pc. I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions for a motherboard for my build. I don't want the motherboard to be too expensive. If it could be under $100 that would be great. Here is my build so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZMZNqk

I STRONGLY recommend against building a new gaming build with a 4-5 year old FX cpu.
This would be considerably better and also have a much much better upgrade path.

Yes the i3 is better in almost every game than the FX8320. You could get an i5 though for just a little over $700
