Thank you everyone for being so helpful. Depending if I can stretch my budget I'll go for an I5 and 970 combo :)

@timbo1130 $20 bucks more for an I5??? Link please. I swear I can never find an equivalent to an amd 8350 for intel.

@madmatt30 both the r9 390 and the gtx 970 are the same prices for me. The only main difference is like you said is power consumption and then the vram.

@timbo1130 would that extra vram help me in any way with the 390, gaming wise?

@Rookie_MIB Hey now, that's just ridiculous. I want to overkill it, not brutually murder it. @socomshot what kind of fps would I get with a 390?

I want 60+fps on almost every game. I'm trying to decide between gtx 970 for nvidia gameworks or r9 390 for that extra vram for modding and art programs. I will mainly game though Edit: Price range is below $400 Edit 2: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/C3pjK8

looking to play high end games (battlefield, crysis, ect) at least high graphics .and I want to have the computer last more then two years to upgrade, is this good enough? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3dpXQ

thank you so much.

so my best Bet is the amd way it looks like since its under $800. does it meet the needs I put in the description?

hey everyone, I have $800 to spend on a computer and I do not need the following: keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor what I also need though is an os (preferably windows 7) and with the cpu I can't decide intel or amd, I want it to be future proof but I want it so it will run...

Thank you for your answers, but will I also have to find compatible gpu, memory, ect. for the motherboard or is the cpu the only thing I have to make sure of? because I'm updating my computer with newer parts and making sure I don't spend money for something that doesn't work or isn't...

basically what the title says, is the motherboard compatible with the amd fx 8320
