Hi guyz, Im planning to purchase 1 of these motherboards for my new gaming rig. which do you think is better?
By the way, for asus, i know sabertooth 990fx is better but my budget cant make it haha.

I actually have two different rigs both running the m5a99fx pro r2.0 board. It's awesome in every possible way. The overclocking potential is so high, I was able to match the CPU speed of my best tune on the older Asus board I'd came from by simply changing the multiplier on this one and letting it do the rest of the work by itself. My signature has a 4.5ghz CPU-Z validation from my Phenom after I'd tuned in the settings just right. VERY high quality board. There may be more power phases on other brands, but the digi+ control seems to make a huge difference.
