What are your priorities? For example: Is overclocking support important to you, or do you run at stock speeds?

+1 for this board. Good suggestion.

But I stay away from ASRock boards in the 2nd suggestion.

Instead I would look at the ASUS Sabertooth 990FX if you need a high end board.

The first board posted by middlemarkal would be good for a midrange OC on the FX 6300.

You could even do it with the Gigabyte GA 970A-UD3P. You really only need the 990FX chipset for multi-GPU setups. But since you are looking for ASUS i would go with his first recommendation above. Remember to give him credit for best answer if you go that route. 😉
