Do you plan to Overclock your CPU because:

1) You might as well get the 8320 then overclock it
2) Your Motherboard isn't that great

Personally, I would get the 8320 and with the extra money get a 212 evo.
What site is this from?

Yes there is a point of telling us what PSU you got, to see if it's of good quality.

Get the 8320 instead of the 8350, it saves money and are the same thing.
I'd also recommend a 280x instead of a 7950.

I'm not overclocking so that's why I thought to get the 8350!

I completely forgot about the PSU sorry, but I know I'd need to upgrade it:
Corsair Builder 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply
A suggestion maybe?

I already have the 7950 at the moment and I'm not planning on changing it for a while!

if you aren't overclocking then why get an overclocked cpu. it will come with a standard cooler so temps will be high

Okay fair, enough, I was just thinking that I want the next CPU I have to be long term so I was thinking If I get the 8350 I could be just a little bit ahead, not by much but some!

Anyway.. Would the motherboard I selected go well with the 8320 or should another recommendation be used?

You dont need a 8 core unless you edit videos and use 3d programs you should for for the 6core as no game runs 6 let alone 8 so you more programs can use all 6 cores

The motherboard would be fine but if yoy ever upgrade such as SLI/Crossfire or just want a more future proof system ide get a Asus Sabertooth as it has a newer chipset and can use the power of the 8core. Cpu
