Yes, but there are better motherboards for that CPU.
A List of Motherboards for Overclocking AM3+ FX CPUs
These are the best quality motherboards for getting the most out of your FX CPU: Budget: - MSI 970 GAMING - Asus M5A97 R2.0 Not the LE! - Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P - Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 Mid-range: - Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 Make sure... See full content

If you have to upgrade something then you'd upgrade the GPU . The CPU and mobo are fine. The GPU is the only one that would hold you back from maxing out games in the future. I'd stick with what you have and upgrade in a year or two.

i just bought the r9 270 month ago but i have phenom 2 x4 955 so i am tryn to keep up with the upcoming games so i decided to get that fx 8320 with a new mobo because my mobo do not support the am3+ and they said to me that phenom i have is very old to the upcoming new gen games ,, to upgrade the gpu now it will be hard to me ,, do not you think this gpu is good enough for the new gen games ??

The G43 , G45 , G46 , are all poor matches for the FX8320 , due to the poor thermal designs.

Sorry to hear you can't get the UD3P.

Supports it but usually has heat and stability issues.

Most MSI boards are really crappy and should never be used to overclock. I wouldn't even run more than a quad-core on most of them.

The new 970 Gaming board is late to the party, but at least it looks adequate.

It does look decent as long as they keep the price down.

It looks nice, but I don't think I'll be rushing out the door to build anything on AM3+

I ordered parts to build a Haswell i3 rig to replace my aging AM3 rig. Should be here next week :)

Yeah I think I spent $700 for i3 and GTX 750 Ti rig with Windows, and 240GB SSD, and new keyboard/mouse. All powered by a new 300W Seasonic :D

It depends on what you want to do and how much budget you have. My buddy Jason from overclock.net is pushing that very motherboard to extremes. We are all waiting for it to explode!

With that budget you could easily get an i5.

Sounds like your 970 options are all pretty horrible. How about this i5 combo?

Problem with FX, is they are already behind, and it is only going to get worse. People still use PCI slots?

That would be a good combo with an excellent upgrade path.
