this would be perfect for value/performance

mid-high motherboard that can let you overclock that FX-8350 to 4.8 ~ 5 GHz with an Hyper 212 evo to keep the temps as low as possible

8 GB Pro RAM kit to be perfect for overcloking too

btw , the FX-8350 is better for next gen games since it will start using 8 cores in gaming and the FX-8350 has a powerful performance using all cores that can smoke most of the i5 processors , check the benchmarks :
