Which decent motherboard should I get for an FX-8120?

[Arrangatang]

Apparently my ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 motherboard has been the culprit behind CPU throttling in my PC. I was just wondering what AM3+ motherboards are recommended for around £50-£70/$75-$100. Which wouldn't throttle and would be compatible with my PC:

 

GPU: Gigabyte HD 7950 (Stock OC'd to 900 MHz)

PSU: Corsair CX750M

CPU: FX-8120

CPU Fan: Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme

RAM: 4x4GB, Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, CL9

Case: Cooler Master Elite 330 (Mid Tower)

Around that price probably something like the M5A97 EVO R2.0, Gigabyte 970-UD3P and the MSI 970 Gaming.

I'd grab the MSi 970 gaming, it is the most updated of them all but the M5A970 r2.0 is good also (make sure you get the one with power phase heatsyncs or your chip will throttle still).

So would this be suitable http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a97r20

Yes that is the one with the power phase heatsyncs, again I still recommend the MSi 970 gaming board over that since it is in my opinion a better all around board.

Buy something used. 970ud3p is the only acceptable 970 board.

It's barely worth buying a new motherboard for a legacy chip and socket.
