Have decided on the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3. Does that sound alright to you?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Get this Gigabyte , has a 8+2 power design a great fit for the 8320.

What difference does the extra P on the end make? It seems cheaper.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Both are pretty much equal , pick either one both are a good fit for the FX8350.

 

[ComputerAddict]

I'll take the cheaper one- means I can get a better watercooler! Many thanks for your help, i really do appreciate it. Time to order my build tomorrow, can't wait 😀

First ever gaming pc. should do the job, eh? 😛

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Make sure to pick SR-71 blackbird's suggestion as the solution and what watercooler are you planning to pick?
