AMD3+ Motherboard help

[Oliver1]

Hi there,
I am thinking of building a new gaming computer, but I don't know which motherboard will be good for my processor.

My processor:
AMD FX-8350 FX-Series Eight-Core Processor Edition, Black AM3 FD8350FRHKBOX

If anyone can suggest a motherboard with the same socket type and good price it will be most welcome.

I have the same chip and I went with the Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3. It's affordable, and pretty darn good. My only dislikes are that the north bridge gets stupid hot. If you go with this board, be aware that you need to manually set timings for RAM speeds of 1866 and up and that you can only install one stick per channel. It still maxes out at 32GB, but you'll pretty much be stuck at 16 for now. Not an issue, as that's more than enough.

EDIT: You'll want to make sure you have the latest bios to support all of the chip's features, but flashing is a breeze.

The issues I mentioned are not unique to this board, and you're likely to have similar challenges what ever route you decide to take.
