As I head to microcenter to take advantage of one of their fabulous bundles the FX 6350 and 8320 are the same price. Was wondering if there's any reason I shouldn't get the 8 core CPU?

Also I've pretty much decided on a 990 motherboard but kinda on a budget for now so I'm going with the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3? If I could afford the sabretooth I would. But is this going to give me decent performance with a slight OC for now? Trying to keep everything open for future upgrades but no knowledge of what the next line of CPUs will bring

Get the 8320 if they're the same price. More cores can't hurt. The Gigabyte board you're looking at should be more than enough, and is actually a good board. Used it for my ex college roommate's build and it's working fantastic. Unfortunately the FX line hasn't seen an upgrade in a year in a half and AMD has been mum about a new FX chip, so your guess is as good as any of ours :\
