Hey guys,
Decided I am going to upgrade my PC for my birthday. So I'm grabbing an AMD-8350, and a new mobo. My budget is $400 (w/tax & shipping).
So I've picked a few mobo's and need help choosing which is the best/most reliable of them.

They all have the things I need. I am leaning towards the Asrock because it matches my pc (HAF 912 with red fans), but I have no longterm experience with Asrock mobo's.

So what do you guys think?
 
Your mostly gaming ? Youll do SLI or CF in the futur ?

Some of the board your listed are not SLI ready. IMO the ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0 is the best of the pack you listed.



Tjis is a good board too, somae chipset ase the Asus M5A99X
Just gaming and watching HD video. I should have specified. I never plan on doing crossfire or SLI. I like having a single card.
Thanks for the help!

Total came out to $399.08 XD
