Im wondering what the best budget board for my fx 6300 would be.. no more than like 75 bucks. looking for sata 6 and i want to over clock a little.

If you're not looking for insane OCs, then get a Gigabyte 970A-D3 ver 3.
And if you get that Rev 3.0 of a giga board, PM "kyfire" directly for help with it and that way you may be able to get help. We would never suggest that mobo here in the forum from us that help all the time.

This could get ugly.Instead of making smarta$$ comments about the board I suggested. Why not give a suggestion from your far superior knowledge to the OP.

I don't know about a smartazz comment about the board. It seemed rather prudent to have the OP contact you since you have that board and recommend such in the hard to meet $75.00 price range AND have these words in his quest for that $75.00 board >> OP says "i want to over clock a little."
Yeah, I want to overclock a little also. To about a minumum of 4.5Ghz so that I can feel fairly confident I am not giving up just too much ground to an Intel i5 running at 3.4 when gaming. I don't have any confidence in any $75.00 motherboard to reach my little overclock.
In fact I looked at many of the boards we have seen come thru the AMD CPU and AMD Mobo sections and went to the Egg just to see if I could find anything recomendable in even the $100.00 range and could only find one that I thought might be a solid 24/7 performer and only found one and even it was $25.00 out of the OP's pricing.
There is at least one ASus in the $75.00 range but the OP wants Sata 6 and the cheaper Asus that we have seen handle a mild 4.2Ghz overclock at $75.00 has no Sata 6 since it does not use a 9xx chipset.
The Asrock 970 EXT3 when I checked on it was not even booting for some with an 8 core in it and that would say to me it is marginal for a 6 core and overclock.
$75.00 is a tough or very tough price point to meet when talking about 6 core and 8 core overclocks and especially so when I know what I mean when I say I want to overclock some.

Almost positive it does NOT allow turbo.

Not sure if retarded.... or if retarded...
You know there's a class action lawsuit brewing because of how terrible the VRM cooling is on that mobo right? Like the mother****ers get so hot it warps the board and makes it unusable bad... There's a 1000+ page on-going thread filled with videos, pictures, and dissertation/thesis long essays describing in detail how bad this motherboard is on overclockers.com
Do you know how to internet? You might want to google-fu that. I hope your post was a joke.
For future reference, revisions of the UD3 that are acceptable are 1,2, and 4.
Here's a thread explaining the terrible situation you might see yourself being ****ed into if you listen to these jokers, and how to fix it

PROTIP: DO NOT BUY THE GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ UNLESS YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN IT IS NOT REV 3.0 Even then there are better boards for the money like the Fatal1ty Killer, or Fatal1ty Pro, or even The Extreme 4.
I almost bought a Fatal1ty Professional (<-- BEST AM3+ board for the money) for 70 bucks shipped (50$ + 20$ shipping) on ebay like a week ago. Just lurk ebay and craigslist like a hawk and I'm sure something will show up.
