I'm been looking at getting an FX6300 for awhile for my new build but now have a dilemma. Microcenter has an FX8320 with ASRock 970 Extreme4 (which is what I wanted to pair with the 6300) for $160 (love the price here). However, I read some posts about problems with that board and the 8000 series cpus. I could get the 8320 with an Asus m5a99fx to solve that issue, but now it's $190. To cap it off, I recently became aware of the i5 3570k as great gaming cpu, which Microcenter has combined with an ASRock z77 extreme4 for $235. Is it worth it? I'd love to stick with the $160 combo if it will work. I'm not a hardcore gamer but want to be able to play games like Battlefield 4 at decent settings on a 1080p tv. I already have a Corsair 500 watt psu and a Powercolor 7870 gpu. Appreciate any help.
