The Asus M5A97 evo R2 is a bang for buck mobo @ 6.8k. It has a good VRM design and hence it is a good overclocker.

cross out the ones that do not support 1600mhz ram, and the next tyme you buy ram make sure you buy 1600 or higher as you own an fx and unlike ivy bridge fx processor show good improvement in performace... (just to make your choice easier. i too am lokin 4 am3 processor at 4k for ma 6300 and 8gb 1866mhz ram, please pm me in case u stumble upon 1 )

asus m5a97 r2.0 @ 6.8k is out of my budget, cant its smaller brother (asus m5a97 le r2.0) be used.
also suggest some more mobos for 5.5k or should i go with i5 3450 b75. i change my cpu mobo on a 3 yr basis so opted for 8320 fx for futureproofing at a lower price.
