Newegg and Amazon have the FX-8320 for 159.99, I would probably go with that, only about $13 more than the FX-6350.

Unless that motherboard and CPU are a combo deal, I would suggest going with the 6300 over the 6350. The 6350 is just a factory overclocked 6300. And the 6300 seems to further overclock a little higher than the 6350 will. Other than that it looks great.

You might be able to get an i5 build for that money though let me try real quick.
