I think I've finally decided that I'm going to go with an AM3+ build over an FM2 build, and I'm not sure which board I should go with. I'm probably going to get an FX-4300 or FX-6300 and I want to spend $100 or less on a motherboard. Here are the ones that I'm looking at. Any preferences, or are they all solid choices?
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3
8+2 phase count
ASRock 970 EXTREME4
4+1 phase count
ASUS M5A88-V EVO
8+1 phase count
ASUS M5A99X EVO
6+2 phase count
As you can see, all the boards have different phase counts, but the charts at overclock.net have all four listed as recommended for overclocking. The ASRock board seems to have the weakest VRM of the four, but it has good reviews at Newegg and seems to be a reliable overclocker. Any preference on these? Thanks!
