In search of a good motherboard.

So I am building my first ever pc and I am new to overclocking.

 

Specs :

PSU :Corsair CX Series Modular CX750M

HDD : Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003

RAM : Crucial Ballistix Tactical - 2x4GB

CPU : AMD FX-8350

CPU Cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

GPU : Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X Tri-X OC (4GB Vram)

Case : Sharkoon T9 Value

 

The only thing I am missing now is a motherboard, and what I need is a motherboard that can let me overclock my CPU (and if I need to, GPU) so that my GPU doesn't get limited performance wise.

 

My question is : What is the best motherboard for this build? (money wise, and if there are people out there with this combination too, what is the best/lowest clock speed to overclock to? Tips for overclocking are welcome too.)

He would get more out of a Intel/AMD build because nvidia does not have good price to performance unless you are in the 600-700$ GPU bracket.

good point, I would always choose Nvidia tho, still don't have faith in AMD b/c the fixer trailer; never will you see me use a AMD based build for my own personal

system >.>

Edit: I've also been awake for some 16 hours leave me alone q~q I'm a bit tired xD

I don't have faith in nvidia because ramgate and there shady business practices, and won't ever use then in a personal build.

Budget is around 1285 euro and I live in belgium, probably gonna buy from the netherlands because they are better in pricing.

The best site I have found for now is azerty.nl, alternate.be and tweakers.net to get a little help for pricing too.

I fucked up, the budget is lower it should be 985 euro, because I need 300 for a monitor, since I don't really own one yet, been playing on laptops the whole time.

Than get 970 instead, also if you plan to sli in the future get MBO that supports it.
