No point in going 9590 above the 8350.

Its just a heavily revved up version that does not perform that much better and consumes A LOT more power, if you overclock the 8350 it can perform just as well.

besides that board does not support it. http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-p...

Thanx for the quick reply, weird that they bundle it lol. What mobo would you recommend for 8350?

That mobo is perfect for the 8350.

I agree. Just get a FX 8350. The 9000 series is not worth it. I recommend a 990FX mobo if you're serious about it, and a 970 series mobo if you want to save money.

Yes but you would need some nice cooling.

For CPU Cooler go with the Phanteks PH-TC14PE. It is a great CPU cooler. It is an air cooler which is cooler and quieter than the water coolers.

So, go for the Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU Cooler. It is the best CPU cooler right now and it comes in any color to match your rig.

Also the Asus M5A99X Pro is my favorite board for the socket AM3+, hence go for this board. It is from Asus, so no issues with the quality at all here. You are good to go. That being said, there is also nothing wrong with the Gigabyte board. They also make good parts, it is just that I prefer Asus more over anything. So go for the board that you are comfortable with. I would recommend Asus.

Hence go for this combination :-
