I need help deciding a motherboard that will work well with the fx 8350. I need it to be relatively cheap below £115 ($176) but can go slightly higher if needed. I have a corsair CX750W Psu and will have the Galax gtx970 running with it so PCI-E 3.0 is necessary.

 

I need it to fit into the Aerocool X-Warrior Midi-Tower Case (i'm fairly new to PC building so i'm not sure on sizes)

 

Thank you.

If you haven't already purchased the CPU, please go for a locked i5 + H81 motherboard.  The FX8 will bottleneck a 970 GPU, while performing worse in many games.

Will beat even the highest overclocked FX processor in all games.
