Hi,

I am planning a PC build and had specced a build for an i5 2500k or 3570k but after Logan's FX 8350 vs i5 and i7's video I though I should at least have a better look into the AMD option.  I was wondering what MOBO people would recommend I'd like something that could take fast memory 2133MHz + would be good and a USB 3 header for the case. I'm currently looking at the ASUS Sabertooth 990fx my price range is up to about £150.  I've purchased an NZXT Phantom for the case and an ASUS 7870 waiting on MOBO and CPU before purchasing the rest.  I would greatly appreciate any input, thanks in advance!

It seems like one of the downsides to an amd chip is that they dont use memory that is that fast it seems like 1866 is the limit until it overclocks it im honestly not sure if that means you can use higher on the board. Ive been giving the asrock boards some attention for the 3570k if you go that route look at the asrock extreme6 and for the fx 8350 i would look at this one. \/
