Hi guys,
I have recently bought a FX8350 and now all I need is a motherboard to go along with it. I've come down to 2 motherboards and that is
GA-970A-UD3 ($150NZD)
GA-990FXA-UD3 ($230NZD)
http://www.gigabyte.co.nz/products/comparison/list.aspx?ck=2&pids=4397,4417
and i'll be running a single HD7850 along with it. Now the question is that since 990fxa provide 200MHz more Hypertransport, is it worth spending that $70 more and getting a 990FXA motherboard.
and what are the performance gains from that additional hypertransport?
Need advice,
Thanks~

The difference between the 970 and 990FX chipsets is the PCI Express slot functions (Multi-Graphics Technology). The Wiki encyclopedia has a chart which details the differences.

2 x Marvell 88SE9172 chips:
1. 2 x eSATA 6Gb/s connectors on the back panel supporting up to 2 SATA 6Gb/s devices
2. Support for RAID 0 and RAID 1
The onboard sound chip is different. The 990FX board has support for Dolby Home Theater.
