Is the only difference that the 8350 is overclocked or is there better heat spreading on it or something? Could the 8350 be clocked higher than the 8320? If there is any other difference I would like to know :)

Thanks :)

The 8350 will give you better performance and overclocking, so I would suggest you go with that if you can. The 8320 is just the 8350 underclocked a bit and so it the performance isnt as good but the price is a lot better. The 8320 is actually better value considering how much it costs compared to its performance. It's up to you but they're really close in performance.

most people dont overclock or know how to. This said 4.0 ghz looks much better then 3.5.. and like they said marketing scheme taking a 8320 and over clocking it and calling it a 8350. I'm not sure but maybe the 8350 comes with a better stock heatsink then the 8320?
