Need a Motherboard!

[Azj728]

Hello guys,
I`m putting together my first build and i`m having some budget issues.
Here`s what i have so far.
CPU:AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz
Motherboard:BIOSTAR TA970 AM3+ AMD 970 +
Ram: G.skill Ripjaws 12 gb 1333 DDR3
Graphics Card: MSI R9 270 2GB
Case: DIYPC Solar-M1-G Black/Green
Air Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

So my question is, is the motherboard going to be good enough for that build? I don't plan on overclocking anything just stock speeds.
Am I gonna have any compatibility issues?
Can you recommend a better one that would work better with that build?
Can i get rid of the Cooler master hyper 212 evo and add the money to get a better motherboard if i wanted to run at stock speeds?

Thank you guys in advance

Just a personal opinion here, i would stay away from the biostar boards.

So at stock speeds, can i get rid of the Master cooler hyper 212 evo and get a better motherboard with the money?

Well, what is your budget and what is the build for IE gaming?

Stock speeds yes you can use the stock cooler, however i never recommend it. I hate those stock coolers.

My budget is $80-$90 and yeah it will be for gaming, not a lot of gaming tho. and that's one of the reasons i'm getting the master cooler because of the noise that the stock cooler makes.

What about the ASRock 970 PRO3 R2.0?

ASRocks offer some of the best bang for the buck.

But i am more of an Intel guy. And i would recommend you go for the newer Z97 boards and an 1150 socket CPU. But that may be a bit out of the money you want to spend. Not so much on the board but maybe the CPU.

I was going with the I7-4790k with a good motherboard but adding the case, the cooler master and a power supply threw my budget off towards a less expensive cpu. I don't mind amd which is what i'm using currently and i run many games on low to medium like Battlefield 4 and ghosts with a Zotac Gt 630 2 Gb graphics card, 6 gb of ram and an AMD Athlon II X4 645 3.1 Ghz. I'm not a big gamer but i would like to play a couple of games on high settings.

If you want a beast of a CPU that will destroy games as long as you pair it with a Good GPU and not blow the budget. Look at the i5 4690k

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117372

this chip vs the 4790k is marginal in performance and with a z97 mobo OC is easy as one button from bios.

that chip will save you over $100 and not to mention you will be ready for the next gen Broadwell CPU's that are set to release shortly.
