Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what motherboard model to go with for the certain hardware components I have listed. Obviously an amd motherboard model (anything except Asus) that has much reliability. I am not big on over clocking so that is not a priority in finding the right board. I am strongly considering gigabyte but have never dealt with them. Some other things I am looking at besides (my number one priority: reliability) is to find a model with a good warranty and decent customer service with that warranty. I also prefer high quality/durable capacitors on my board. I say anything but Asus because I have recently gone through two brand new boards (crosshair v-formula z) with them (the second via the warranty on the first one) and their customer service took on average an hour or longer to get in contact with. Any suggestions on a good reliable board with my hardware specs? I have done much research, but would like to hear advice from some other people who have personally dealt with such reliable motherboards. Here are my hardware specs.

Hardware specs: RAM- CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Hard Drive- Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5 Graphics Card-SAPPHIRE 100351SR Radeon HD 7970 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Power Supply- Thermaltake Grand tough power gold series 850 watts CPU- AMD FX-6200 Zambezi 3.8GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Six-Core

This can vary depending on your budget. I've owner this motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga990fxaud3 and for the price it was great, I find gigabyte has both quality products and customer service. The motherboard also has tons of positive reviews on pcpartpicker.

MSI and ASRock also make nice motherboards, since you aren't too kean on overclocking you could just get a 970 chipset mobo, rather than a 990FX however the 990 would generally be a better choice.

Wow, thanks mas7873. I was actually eyeing this exact motherboard a lot on newegg, and yes i still would like to go with a 990fx. Honestly it looks like an amazing board for the money.
