Quite baffled. If I install an AMD 3.5 GHz AM3+ FX 8320 8 Core Piledriver,then what do I have to fit as the RAM for minimum? Will a 4 gb pull the work or more than that? Budget facts here.

Depends on what you will be using it for.
General webbrowsing 4GB is fine.
Gaming; Get 8 Gig.

If you are on a budget where you hardly can afford an extra 4GB of memory, you should have considered the fx 6300 instead.
 
if your gaming you want 4-8 gig, video editing up to 32gig, web browsing and email 2 gig is fine.
2x2gig is the best ofption for a budget build never buy just a single stick of ram as you wont see its true performance in single channel mode.
even if you only buy 2 gigs of ram make sure you buy 2x1gig rather than 1x2 gig...

Okay. My main purpose will be with heavy photo editing softwares. Little bit gaming too. Movies,music..simple. Someone said 32 gb for video editing!!! 3-2!!!?? Now,for my photographic purpose,how much gig would deal with suffiency? Will be a 4gb+a 2 gb good or same gig dual sticks?

Guys,still learning. Disturbing you for one more thing. Does a motherboard really matter for this 8 core processor,AMD 3.5 GHz AM3+ FX 8320 8 Core Piledriver or a MoBo for 110 usd would do the work? Actually I want a FAST machine. Thats why I chose this processor but budget talks. What are your opinions on the mother board?

Gameboy,a software for GIS/RS. Adobe for photo editing etc etc. So 8 gb would be fine?

And

Vmn,in India we only get Asus,Msi MoBo. You please suggest the names of these brands. AM3+ socket.

You can get a cheaper motherboard if you don't want to overclock and get a cheap Graphic Card like the GT 210 for nothing other than powering your displays. Something like this:

Asus M5A97 LE Motherboard: http://www.flipkart.com/asus-m5a97-le-motherboard/p/itmdkzrdgyysrfeh
Zotac Nvidia GT210: http://www.flipkart.com/zotac-nvidia-geforce-gt210-1-gb-ddr3-graphics-card/p/itmd4rc6vam3r9fy

Though I would recommend you to get a better graphics card if budget permits.

BTW: He is from India so please try to quote him prices in Rupees from flipkart.com or so.
