Not sure what motherboard to use with FX 8320. Will not be overclocking, and using 1 GPU.

Hello,

I currently have 3 options for a motherboard:

[Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard](http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a97ler20) |
[Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard](http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga970aud3p) |
[Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard](http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a99fxpror20) |

The GPU I will be using:
[Sapphire Radeon R9 270 2GB Dual-X Video Card](http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-100365l) |

As the title says I will not be overclocking and will use the 1 GPU.

Any advice on which of those 3 boards is best for my CPU and GPU, and possibly another board that is priced close to $100 that is a better option than the 3 I posted would be greatly aprpeciated

My recommendation is Gigabyte UD3P. It is a great value of your money and worth it. Will be good for your GPU and CPU. If going for Asus then buy their Pro Rev 2.0 or Evo 2.0 if available.

Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ this one should be avoided.

A Chris987 said, the 990fxa-ud3 is a solid board. I use it with my 8320 and have a pretty solid OC on it. I got mine from newegg, so I can assure you it is the revision 4.0 of it, because you need that variation in order to run fx chips on it without needing the bios flashed. the rev 4.0 edition can also run some of the beefier chips like the FX-9590

for no overclock the M5A97 r2.0 works well (non LE)

Another board I would suggest would be in the 990x chipset, which is between 970 and 990fx is the Asus M5a99x Evo R2. Its a solid board and has a good amount of features, plus Asus makes some pretty sweet boards too. Here is the link on newegg.

A friend of mine has it and I played around with his system with it. Great board, and it can handle mild overclocks if you ever decide to ramp up to 3.8 ghz, or 4.0 ghz.
