I would like to build a system centered around an AMD FX-8350 (4.2 GHz * 8) processor to be used primarily for video editing. I am wondering what motherboard will take advantage of its features. I am thinking of using the system primarily for HD video and photo editing.

Personally OP, I've been pretty impressed with Asrock's line (I'm using a z77 sabertooth in my machine at the moment but I just used an extreme3 board for my brother's build).
