I'm looking at putting together a budget (<$900) build to game on, mainly for BF4. My main option for the CPU is the 4670k but I'm also looking at the FX-6300 & FX-8320. I want to also OC but i'm not a pro at it by any means, so I'd prefer a motherboard that can auto OC for me, like I think i've seen the ASUS boards with their AI suite. I will be pairing all this with a 280x so I'd need something that won't bottleneck. I have most all the other components figured out.

So if I get can get any CPU/Mobo combos that you may think will work well for my needs, send them my way! Any advice is also welcome. Thanks!!!!

I have a Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 and I have to say it's a great board. 8+2 power phases for great OC stability and some nice OC presets to use. Plenty of connections including two USB3.0 on the back and some internal headers.

I plan on purchasing an FX-8320 to complete it. Should be a solid build for BF4 and beyond.

Is there a performance difference between the z87-plus and z87-pro? I know there may be a few less ports but can they both OC well?
