Hey guys, I need help deciding on a mobo for my amd phenom ii x4 CPU. I needs to be about 100 american dollars, with the best price to performance ratio. Any suggestions?
Look into AsRock or Biostar. If your able to shell out about $130 USD you can get some good boards in the 990fx catagory. Here are some examples:

If your looking for just about $100.. Then 970 Chipset boards are the best options.

Keep in mind I did not factor in tax. Hope this helps
I was already looking into the gigabyte board you suggested, but I rather like the MSI board you linked. And for only 20 bucks more it might be the best option. Thanks!
Glad I could help.. Best part is that the board is already on Revision 2 so FX Bulldozer is already supported without bios updating if you want to upgrade. Not sure if Piledriver will need an update to the bios but the board should last you a while =D
