My motherboard has failed.
Looking to get a new board. I am a gamer, but i mostly Play Diablo 3, and some other indie games. Dont plan to crossfire or overclock.
I am running:
FX8320
HD7870
16gb of Sniper Gskill Ram
I am a little weary of buying an MSI board since my 970a-g45 died after only a year and a half, so I have been looking at a few boards.
My question is I am reading some conflicting things. First I will show you the boards I am looking at.

I saw a video review for the 970 board, and it says that they do not suggest picking a 970 board with 8 core CPU's. But i have read other places the main difference between 970 and 990FX is for crossfiring and overclocking. I do not mind spending the extra 30-40 bucks on the 990fx board if it will be overall faster experience since im using an 8 core cpu.
Thanks in advanced.
