I am getting an FX8320 cpu and plan to overclock it sometime in the future, but to be prepared i want a mobo that will allow me to do so?
Do I need a Z87, H87, or B45, or something else?
Thanks in advance.

For AMD FX 8320 you need at least AMD 990** chipset motherboard with AM3+ socket ! for Z87 etc. etc. you need intel 4th gen processors i5 4***
