Can someone please tell me the equivalence of a AMD 8-Core 3.5 Ghz and a good motherboard for the intel processor (around $150 for mobo, if possible).

Performance equivalent is the i5-4670k (and sometimes better). Physical cores would be the i7-3960X/3970X

I would suggest gettin a i5-4670k and grabbing an ASUS Z87-A/PLUS/PRO (three different motherboards), an ASRock Z87 Extreme4, or a MSI Z87-G41/43/45.

I would say the in game performance of the 8320 is pretty much on par with an I5-2500K now, both at stock. In multithreaded tasks, probably a I7 3770k.

Once you overclock to the 4.0s you can start taking on the Ivy bridge I5s.
