Just a heads up if anybody was wanting one, I've been wanting to build my own AMD pc for awhile now...All I need is the cpu, motherboard, and a power supply...you guys think it's worth it? I've been having trouble deciding on the motherboard tbh, that new MSI Gaming 970 mobo is nice, but costs as much as the cpu itself lol....the other ones are all older 760g ones which would likely throttle with any kind of overclock

Since you have a pretty good i5 system I would say it could make since to build a AMD system with a 8320 for heavily threaded games and apps.

There is some other 970 boards for less that would do well.
