im trying to build a budget pc. but dont want to skimp out on a good board.
i really like the msi 990fxa gd80v2 but it is 160$

the other option is a MSI 970A-G46 which is 79.99$

both have sli capability which is an option i want later down the road possibly. i do overclock but usually just past what turbo does (for ex: my phenom x6 1100t is 3.3 ghz and 3.7 turbo. so i have it at 3.8ghz full time) just a little extra push.
so with such minor overclock in mind... would it be better to buy the cheap board? thanks to all.


Also, i plan to get the fx6300 processor.
im replacing my xbox with this pc and would appreciate an answer. so help me out for kicking the console ;)

Overclocking is not my recommendation.
what type and brand ram will you get
