What is the best motherboard for my AMD Fx-8350 under 100 USD?

I know this is a few days late, but if I were you I'd put in another 20-30 for something like an Asus M5A99X EVO (either rendition, I don't know if you can find the first rendition around any more though)
Of all the things to not skimp on in a computer, you do not want to skimp on your MB. A good MB can improve the life of your computer by years with different capabilities built into BIOS, as long as you use them properly.
 


I have the MSI 970 Gaming and it works perfectly. It also has a very good bios and it's safe to overclock with this one. If you consider this board, I do recommend you have decent airflow in your case, because the Northbridge can sometimes get quite hot if you use the stock thermal paste.
