ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 or Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3

the Asus Sabertooth is comparable to the Giga990FXA-UD5 , so it's obviously better than the UD3

For around the same price as the Gigabyte board, the Asus M5A99FX R2.0 is a great option. I've got two of them that I run a Phenom X4 965 OC'ed to 4.3ghz for 24/7 use and a FX-8350 OC'ed to 4.5ghz for 24/7 use. The 6+2 power phase on the 99FX is behind the Sabertooth on paper (8+2 design), but my experience and that of most benchmark sites show that in the real world it's just as capable. It's on sale right now on Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
