I guess you're not overclocking,so that board will do,you don't need a high ned board if you're not OC'ing.

It depends if you over clocking, if you are then get a different one

If I was overclocking then what board would you suggest?

You'd need a 990 board if you'd want to overclock,they'd cost more,but you'd have to buy a suitable cooler if you're going to OC with it.And it depends what CPU you have,what CPU do you have/are getting?And do you want to OC?

My cpu im going to get is a amd 8320, so would i need to overclock for gaming, or is it already good?

Ok that CPU is fine,and no.Most people don't OC.I'm not going to OC,and you don't need to OC.People just do it if they want to get the most possible power out of their components.Just stick with the mobo you have if you don't want to.That CPU is fine and would handle most things with no problem if paired up well with other good components!

I'm looking to get the best mobo I can get for gaming around the same price range as this one Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+

Where are you based so we know what price tag that board has.

Not true, even though the 990X and 990FX chipsets generally have stronger VRM's due to their price tags it isn't a requirement to have those chipsets.

I'd ment to put to get better OC's,sorry.
