I hope it's the budget gaming build. Also, that motherboard has AM3+ socket which is meant for AMD processor. And when we talk about AMD (in gaming), FX-8320 will always rule. :p.

I would go with an 8350, since the am3+ socket is pretty much EOL i would go with the 8350 as they are usually able to OC more than an 8320. And it will be the last processor you buy for this motherboard. Also get a good cooler a coolermaster hyper 212 evo is only around $25/30 then you can OC the hell outta the 8350 pretty well.

Average overclock between the FX 8320 and FX 8350 is roughly 100mhz according to hwbot.
