I am planning to build a gaming rig under AMD environment. I'm kinda a new in AMD processor, I saw reviews that AMD FX 8350 is the best cpu as to date. Furthermore I am also concern in my budget. So the question is what is the best motherboard that will fit for fx-8350 chip? and in terms of RAM which one would you recommend? Lastly, beside FX-8350 chip,which one is budget AMD

Thanks guys in advance for your recommendation.

Motherboard - make sure its a 990fx chipset to help with overclocking eg ASRock 990fx Extreme 3

Ram - 2 x 4gb 1866.

The 8320 can be overclocked to match the 8350. But you need a good mobo - as above and a good cpu cooler

If your putting in a really good graphics card stick with at least the 8320. A 6300 will hold back really high end cards.

On the other end of the scale - don't try any of the 9 series fx cpu's unless you really know what you're doing and have the cash to spend on a top line mobo and water cpu cooler.
