For 10 bucks more you can find a 8320 fx and for about the same price as the board you have picked you can get one to work with the fx cpu so the 8320 would be a better deal then the apu. The apu is fine for what it is but the 8320 is a better option. And I disagree with the apu bottle necking with the apu system.. I have a 5800 k and had a 7950 installed and I never saw any of those issues mention above.
