I recommend the AMD FX-8320 for $160, along with the ASRock 990FX Extreme3 ATX AM3+/AM3 motherboard for $105; a little bit over, but this is an overclockable eight-core CPU, and this will do very well now, and will do even better in the future when all the cores can be properly utilized. :)
However, you may need a PSU upgrade with any CPU upgrade to come.

I say get the 8350 if there is money; it has a higher core clock, as well as enhanced ability for OCing. Also, the best chips tend to be chosen for the FX-8350, so they tend to be the chips which can OC the highest and which break the least.

So you see that it worth the Extra 30 ~ 40 $ ?

i think i will go for the FX 8350 ! but do you suggest another cheaper motherboard ?

That is one of the cheapest 990FX motherboards out there, and once you go beneath that chipset then your OCing capabilities are greatly lowered. However, the Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ is a good, cheap motherboard (under $70), albeit minus the great OCing.
