Motherboard upgrade

[suigeneris20]

Hi,

I'm looking for a motherboard upgrade and was looking at these two listed below:

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514

or

ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131736

I do realize that the Sabertooth says that it is recommended by Tom's Hardware but I just wanted to see what people in the forums thought about these two motherboards.

It would mostly be used for gaming (crossfire) and multi-tasking. I would also want something that is the most "future proof". Please, help me choose! Thanks


My current system specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 140W Quad-Core Processor
12 GB RAM PC3-10600 MB/sec
750 GB SATA 3G (3.0 Gb/sec) 7200 rpm
XFX Radeon HD 5770 XXX Edition 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP

if you need more info, let me know. thanks again!

I would go with the gigabyte board and save $65, but it's sold out.
