hello,
I already chose&bought an ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z mobo (SH). All I need to buy is the CPU and memory.

The CPU, for now, I was thinking of buying one of these two:
1 - Phenom II 965 BE, 3.4 ghz or
2 - FX-8320 3.5 ghz (double the price of Phenom II 965 BE)

In the future i'm planning to go for FX9xxx series or better.(~christmas time or little later). I'm only using my pc for gaming and willing to overclock. I am on a very limited budget. Is there a big difference between these CPUs in games?

The memory:
- Kingston HyperX Predator 8GB DDR3 2400 MHz CL11 Dual Channel Kit - it has a fair price
- or please tell me a good set of memories that would be good choice for my ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z....(brand,frequencies, latency, timings, voltage..etc...not expensive ones)...I'm really on low budget and I need to make a very good choice, I can't afford very expensive memories.

Thank you in advance!!!

Assuming you won't go for an intel setup then yup thats all you need and the best you'll get.

So a pair of decent 1600 ram (like hyperx...with good timings) and the fx8320 (OC'd) would do just fine?
