Does it really need the +?

Need a PC that can handle watch dogs, and AMD 6 core seems like the best choice in this game, but for the life of me can't find the motherboard that supports it.

Man this is an absolute terrible choice to make:

Fx-6300 cheaper than i5, but damn those motherboards...

For instance here's one for R640

Does not have sata3, usb 3.0 and u won't be able to OC the CPU.

Now that's a nice motherboard, but R1500

Everything in-between seems terrible, or not much better.
That's a R900 difference, but R900 means extra 4Gig ram + that upgrade from a R2000 card to R2500 one.

Intel got such nice boards...

Think if you going for overlock and cooling, crossfire, that might be the direction you need to go.

Went with this instead, a tiny bit more feature filled.

Still don't fully trust it for an OC though. Would still stick to the FX6300

Board posted AlienTaker more suitable for OC on the FX6300 or the eight core series.
Although I don't know of any games that use 8.

Well joker can vouch for the asrock boards they are quite good for oc

Make sure when you buy, you get AT LEAST SATA3 and USB3.... My board does not have this, and I want to upgrade solely for this reason...

I would not buy a board without those today...

Apparently the Vrams have no heatsinks, and that's a bad thing for overclocking.
I heard the Extreme3 version has them, but those seem to be discontinued and run at the same price as the R1600 boards.
