Saberbooth 990fx R2 OR M5A99X EVO R2.0

[Thomas Lee]

As you may already have guessed Yes, I Have ha fx 8350...

MB:GA-970A-D3
GPU: Radeon 7970
CPU: AMD Fx-8350
-->CoolerMaster Hypo Evo 212
Patriot: 16gb 1600hz
PSU OCZ 700W

Also, as you can see my MB is a $40 piece of crap, so the bottle neck is real in my case. I'm really looking for a simple good reliable board that i can use for a long time while still being able to add upgrades onto it in the future, I understand that the sabertooth + 8350 setup is starting to get some age on it as it is now 2016 and a i5 4690k is much better. I really don't want to see my 8350 going to waste.

In the future I also plan on uping to a gtx 970

Both are good boards no doubt about that but I am partial to the Sabertooth because it is part of Asus's TUF series with a 5 year waranty and made with high end quality parts.
