The Asus M5A97 R2.0 is a great choice for a motherboard under $100. If you want to save some money, you can get an 8320 which is basically a lower binned and clocked 8350 but with a good cooler you will be able to overclock to match the 8350. I would switch the Caviar Black 1TB drive to a Seagate Barracuda 1TB if you don't really care about having shorter warranty as it runs cooler.
