I'm upgrading from a 8350 to a 1700 and I need to find a new motherboard. Right know i'm looking at the MSI KRAIT X370. I don't want to spend more than 150$ on a motherboard, and I'm planning to do some light overclocking, no more than 3.9 - 4 GHz. If someone could recommend me a decent motherboard for around 150$ and decent overclocking that would be great. Thanks for the help!

I would go with this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157769 

 

Similar color scheme of black/white but it also has added in wifi which is a pretty good bonus for the price.

The only problem with that is, it doesn't support 3200 mhz ram. This is a problem, and I don't need the onboard wifi, i already have a pcie chip(Should have put that in the desc.). Thanks for the suggestion though, would you recommend anything else?

AFAIK that Asrock board @legacy99 recommended does support 3200Mhz RAM. it's stated on their website, just not on newegg.
