I could do with some help deciding on a new motherboard for the FX-8350 its either the MSI 990XA-GD55 or the ASUS M5A97 EVO R2 however if there is any other recommendations for around £70-£80

Asus, won't even touch MSI mobos for builds, poor QC/Support

I have a load of 990x-GD55 rendering 24/7 with FX-8350, they seem very solid, so I can't fault them.

If you get a good one they aren't bad, problem is lots of failures after 30-60 days (not counting DOAs), I get more trouble calls on MSI mobos than any two other manufacturers put together
