CPU Mobo combo for gaming 200-250 euros

[BaleiNEUS]

Hello,
I am thinking about an upgrade between the 200 and 250 euros but I am not sure which combo I want to buy. By pc is mainly used for gaming and focused on future games. My plan is to overclock the CPU and I have experience overclocking. Do you have any recommendations for me? I already have the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.

I live in the Netherlands and I was thinking about the FX8320. But the socket is probably dead and that is why I don't know if I should go for it.

Thanks for the quick reply. At first I thought that the combination would be too expensive, but I just fount out that newegg started shipping to the nl two monthes ago. But I stink think it is a bit too expensive. Do you have another configuration?

That configuration would be 310 euros in the netherlands. Do you really recommend the i5 and is it really worth the extra money? Or should I go for a more budget CPU like the 860k/FX8320? Or is the difference between the i5 and the amd just too big?

Look its not that big you can check for yourself if you are on a tight budget u can go for FX8320

Thanks for the help! I think I am going for the i5. Also because the socket is likely to survive a bit longer than the am3+. I think it will be worth the budget.
