Gonna be upgrading very soon and I was wondering what the best CPU + Motherboard + (other) upgrade would be for around $400. I mostly play games and I'm starting to edit videos my friends and I make. These were my options so far:

4670k + z87 extreme4 - ~$370
or
FX 8320 + 990fx extreme4 + Samsung 840 Evo 120gb SSD - ~$400

The 8320 is like $145 on Amazon right now vs. the 4670k at $230, which is why i'm confused on what i should do. I'm not upgrading my GPU right now and I have enough RAM, anything else is fair game along with the CPU and Motherboard.

(I have a Xigmatek Gaia CPU cooler in push pull and will definitely be overclocking)

The SSD is a great option but the 4670k is better than than the 8320. If you want better loading speeds go for option 2. If you want slightly more performance in games and reder time, go for option 1.

What would you yourself recommend? Is this slight performance increase worth not having a snappier system as a whole? Just wanted to get some opinions :p
