Right now I'm on the fence in deciding between the A10 7850K and the FX 8320. Honestly I never would have contemplated using an AM3+ board had MSI not released a new mobo last month. What I'll be doing with it is playing the alpha/beta of ArcheAge and maybe Black Desert and Bless if I can get into the betas. In short the games will be very poorly optimized with demanding requirements since all the MMOs I listed are all running new game engines and are still in the beta stages. I will be running these games on a single monitor in 1920x 1200x resolution, and since these games are MMOs there will be alot of character models to render.
I will be using a corsair H100i to cool the CPU or APU and will be overclocking it as much as the H100i is capable of safely doing. I will also be using an R9 290 non-x until Nvidia's flagship Maxwell chips hit the shelves. I may get a 2nd card if one GTX 880 won't cut the cheese.

APU $170: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113359&cm_re=a10_7850k-_-19-113-359-_-Product
Mobo $109: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130754&cm_re=A88X-G45-_-13-130-754-_-Product

CPU $160: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113285&cm_re=8320-_-19-113-285-_-Product
Mobo $100: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130790
So which AMD chipset should I spring for? The A10 7850k or the FX-8320?
Furthermore please don't suggest Intel, as the reason I'm asking is the price difference between the chips I listed is very negligible.
