I owned the Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 up until I upgraded to a Intel skylake system last weekend. I was very happy with it over the last 3 years and never give me any trouble with a Fx 8320 over clocked @ 4.1 Ghz while gaming. Its $132.99 and a very stable board.
But if I had to pick a AMD board out today for under $150 I'd go with a GIGABYTE GA-990FX-Gaming AM3+ AMD 990FX because it has a few more features the Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 doesn't have.
