which ASrock board are you getting? Personally, I would go Gigabyte, Asus, or MSI over ASrock always.

That does not say what model number it is. Should have either a Extreme # or a Pro #.

It's Extreme 3

It is complete junk. Look at another brand if you are looking to OC at all.

My friend has also ASRock mb and he had OC everything what he could, CPU and gpu at least. He recommended this mb. Should I get the Asus Crosshair V Formula mb which is from the expensive end?

I've found some cheap motherboards.

1. Asus M5A78L LE
2. Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3
3. Gigabyte GA-990FX-UD3

Which one of these are the best for OC?

 

[wolfeking]

the 990FXA-UD3 is the much better board there.
The issue on the ASrock is with its PWM design. It is 4 phase with a splitter, using Dpak mosfets. This all leads to a board that is weak on power management, which is a risk to your processor when overclocking. It will overclock, just not safely.

If I'd take that Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 mb, are rest of parts fine?

Case: IArena Miditower
CPU: AMD FX-6200
GPU: ASUS HD7770-2GD5 2048MB DDR5
PSU: CORSAIR CX80 BRONZE 430
RAM: KINGSTON 2x4GB DDR3
SSD: OCZVERTEX PLUS R2 2.5"
HDD: WD BLACK 1TB 3.5" SATA 7200 RPM

 

[wolfeking]

should be fine.

Okay, thanks for helping! Maybe I'll need help to put all together but need to save some money first (or trying to make it)
