So im upgrading my pc from an i3 2100.. I am in the market of AMD right now because intel is outrageous if it thinks i want to pay $200 just for a cpu.

I would just get the CPU but i am in need of a new motherboard also. Mainly because it doesnt have a USB 3.0 connection for my front USB ports on my case and one of the SATA ports do not work.

Here's what i am looking at (also, mobo must support Crossfire/sli.)

cpu [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009O7YU56/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER"]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009O7YU56/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER[/ame]

mobo [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055QYKQO/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER"]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055QYKQO/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER[/ame]

What do you guys think? I am prepping my PC for BF4 mostly
 
Looks good to me. Asrock has some really good 990fx boards aswell, just make sure the board you choose supports 125w cpus and has a good voltage regulator. (I prefer Asrock because they have a ton of features for not a lot of $$)

I have no complaints toward the 8320.
Good cpu, supposedly games are going to be optimized for more cores because of the next gen consoles. Going with AMD's multi core solution is a great idea atm.

$$$ :D

It isn't outrageous, you just get what you pay for. A $230 i5-4670 is going to be better than that FX processor.

meh true. I might go with intel if i can manage to save up the money and not be too eager to get rid of my i3
