As far as I know it's good quality and a good overclocker. If you want to overclock get a new cooler too

Yes get the 6300 and the asrock 990fx. you'll be spending a bit more but atleast you wont regret. Also just change that ram to a kingston hyperX.

Asus 990fx , I don't know about that , and I don't really have money to change my ram too , it's too expensive, and why should I regret buying the AsRock 990FX extreme 3?

You wont regret buying the FX 6300 over Athlon 250. Its way faster and will deliver better gaming, or editing etc. Plus if you go with a dual core Athlon recent games will just run on the edge and you'll need an upgrade sooner.

The Asrock Extreme 990FX is a ok motherboard but its power circuitry is weak compared to other boards based on the 990FX chipset.

If you do not plan to overclock too much it should hold up fine however.

Do you know a better board under 100 euros with 2 ps/2 ports and AM3+ socket?

Not with 2 PS2 ports no.

Bit of a oddity that.
