Okay so I'm building a new gaming pc, for my CPU I'm going for a AMD FX-8350 the socket type is AM3+ so I'm really looking for an ATX Standard motherboard. I don't really have an idea of what to look for in a motherboard other than I'm looking for atleast 4 ram slots, allows raid array and a minimum of 32GB supported, probably in a nice black colour. Also I'm pretty sure to get a AvP Mamba its a Mid Tower that supports ATX but if there's any better suggestions. But yeah.. I need some suggestions for motherboards mainly between £0-£100 preferably below £100

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

Before rage wars about the cpu happens, here's a motherboard that seems to have a lot of high ratings. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga990fxaud3

Although i strongly recommend getting an aftermarket cooler

I would get a better case if you can, are there any reasons why you chose AMD or are you on budget?

I'm on budget and I'm kinda into the octocore

Octocores aren't the point, fewer stronger cores are better than more weaker cores in gaming situations hence why Intel is generally the better choice for gaming, what is your budget and are you making this build from scratch?
