990FX Mobo for £100

Hardware Hub Motherboards

So I'm buying an 8350 however I'm not sure which motherboard to pair it with. I've narrowed down my options to:

Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 http://www.amazon.co.uk/M5A99FX-PRO-R2-0-Motherboard-eS-ATA/dp/B0089GN9KU

Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 SKT http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-990FXA-UD3-SKT-AM3-Motherboard-Rev/dp/B00545BZOG

I'm primarily a gamer and so I'd like to hear the forum's opinions on which mobo I should buy or suggestions for another option. I do plan on overclocking and have a decent CPU cooler so that's a factor.

Thanks, dull.

go with the Asus board, really solid board and components, whereas the UD3 has some issues with something like the voltage control, you can look it up but go with the ASUS if you want any sort of reasonable OC and/or reliability.

Buy the Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 much better motherboard.

I have a gigabyte 990 ud3 rev1.1 but I hear they have heat problems so I don't oc..I would go with the asus just because it seems everyone on this forum really doesn't have a lot of good things to say about the gigabyte 990, and they are more informed than I..
