Note: Case: Sharkoon t28 red edition cannot find anything from sharkoon on the website, 

 

So as you can see they both miss a motherboard. that is where i need help... as i don't want to overclock this system i don't need a Z-branded motherboard so could anyone recommend me one? i prefer a red one so it matches my red/black from the other components. and also should i get the CM 212 EVO or just keep the stock one? and last when i pick the AMD one should I keep the FX-8350 or swap it for the FX-6300? and ofcourse the main question which one should i choose because... Intel is on most fronts better with gaming and that i what i want to do. but the AMD one i cheaper. pls help me

 

Ps, this is going to be my first build

There is literally no risk in overclocking. 

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III
