I've been looking around for a mobo for my first gaming PC build, and a can't decide between the Gigabyte DS3P and the UD3P boards.
I was originally set on getting the DS3P, but upon reading responses here on Toms it seems that the UD3P would be the better pick, mainly for its power phases.
The only thing keeping me from getting it is the fact that generally about half of the reviews for it on Newegg and Amazon are 1 stars and people keep saying that it is bad quality and reboots for no reason on them.
The DS3P, on the other hand, has much better reviews. I'm just worried I'll get a bad mobo for my first build and all my effort will go to waste...
So what would any of you recommend I get, and why are there so many bad reviews for the UD3P?

DS3P - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CX4MUCC/ref=psdcmw_1048424_t1_B00F5R9
Main PC Parts:
-CPU: AMD FX 6300 BE
-GPU: ZOTAC GTX 950 AMP! Edition
-RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY 1866mHz 8 GB (2x4gb)
-PSU: EVGA 500 B1 80+ Bronze 500 Watts
(PS, I know getting a 990fx board would be a much better choice, but sadly they are all out of my budget range... 🙁 (which is $70 or below, btw) )
Thanks in advance for the help!!!
