I would go MSI 970 GAMING ,support SLI , good quality and nice value.

Motherboard tier list: 970 chipset

Tier One-Class A: Very High quality. Great boards for OCing, have optional SLI capability but more importantly can OC FX 8 well, if you have to get a 970 chipset board, these will be your top choice. High quality, and no overheating issues.

Motherboard: MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($99.89 @ Newegg)
Total: $99.89
