There's this one, it's the GIGABYTE GA-990XA-UD3 from trusted uk website(s) :

http://www.dabs.com/products/gigabyte-am3--amd-990x-sb950-ddr3-atx-7JF9.html

The other board that you can get is the Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 :

Both will do just fine.

I have both the 990Xa-UD3/FX-6100 and the 990FX extreme4/FX-6300.
Both are excellent boards.

I have had both of them up to 5Ghz and are currently set to 4.8Ghz.

I also have RipjawsX series 2133Mhz ram in the Extreme4 running at 2133.
I love this board especially since it sports the older IDE interface and is the reason I got it.

I haven't had any issues with either of them yet and I am running a dual boot system with Win7 and Ultimate Edition Linux on the FX-6300.

I can pop in any one of my older IDE drives and access my archived data at any time.

is this good? this one has 6+2 power phases... are they enough for overcloking the fx8350?

I don't know if dabs or novatech will ship for that country, amazon uk will, but most of the boards are out of stock.
