Motherboard: 100$ vs 200$

[Skunk]

I am looking to buy FX8350+SapphireHD7950. Limited budget. No plans for overclocking. What would be the difference between a 100$ motherboard (M5A97 LE R2.0) and 220$ motherboard (ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R 2.0). What will I miss/loose in the situation that I cannot afford a 200$ motherboard?

Yeah, Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 and Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 are good medium price range motherboards for AMD. With cheaper then this there are usually some quality problems.

or think about going intel instead
i5 4670 /w b85 board will be about the same price
most b85 boards support crossfire
or if you need sli, z87 board will not be much more

the Sabretooth 990fx is a sweet board if you can afford it 300 bucks when i got it so if you can spare the cash it is a beast and can take 4,6,8 core CPU`s 32 gig ram and lots of space for GFX card upgrades.if your not going to worry about overclocking you dont need a very exp board at all.but you can get 4.8GHZ stable out of that chip on the sabretooth board

Thanks for the comments people, what I want to say here I am limited to ~100$ motherboard. I won't OC or crossfire. I am using my PC for both gaming and photoshop. but most of the time photoshop and other software.

Why don't you compare them side by side? If you have $100 to spend, then the ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 isn't bad.

The differences generally boil down to slots and ports available.
