So I have the fx 8350 at normal clock speed with the gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P and when I run geek bench I get 9000 vs other 8350's getting 11000 I noticed something is wrong.. Also my fps DROPED when upgrading from the 6300 to the 8350... So I came to the conclusion that maybe my motherboard can't handle the 8350's power and so I'm asking what is a good mobo that I can over clock my CPU on without throttling(under $200)

It doesn't have to be the best because I plan around December to move to intel's 4930k witch includes a new mobo switch

Get something with 990FX. I assume you have a full size ATX case. Correct?

The Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 sounds like a good choice, and it costs 110 euros in my country, which would be well below 200 US dollars.
