After much thinking and having a awful headache from my previous post, I finally chose a few parts for my PC.

AMD FX 8350 4.0GHz 8-Core
8GB (2x4gb) Corsair Vengeance LP
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
1TB Seagate Barracuda
Kingston Hyper-X 120GB SSD
LiteOn DVD Writer (Don't remember the model)
Rosewill 650W PSU

The only thing that I couldn't choose is the motherboard, GPU. My daily uses of a PC is usually gaming (BF3, CoD, Minecraft, DotA2, TF2) and hopely all those next-gen games (BF4, CoD:Ghost and so on)

So yeah, could anyone recommend a good mobo and gpu? I'm on a tight budget here (My country taxes are freaking high right now). I'm also looking to OC the CPU.

I was thinking 990 had a few advantages but realised I was mistaken and removed it, the 970 should have everything you need.

7970 is excellent for gaming. I have the GHz edition ($60 more) and have been running battlefield 4 beta on ultra with 55-90 fps. The standard 7970 gets 5-10 fps less in benchmarks.

Well my first plan is to get intel, but since I'm on a budget, the FX 8350 will be fine for me. I guess.

970 is good for over clocking, the major difference between 990 and 970 is SLI support. 970s only support crossfire (2x AMD Cards such as 7970s) where as 990 supports SLI (2x nvidia Cards such as GTX 760) and crossfire.

If you would prefer to go Intel we can try to make a build that includes it, but there is nothing wrong with AMD.
