I strongly recommend you buy a motherboard with a 970 series chip set for use with an FX processor

M5A97 EVO R2.0 from ASUS, for me its the best 970 chipset out there.

If you read the specs on the manufacturer's page or the box, it will specify the chipset.

That is a very poor board to pair with an 8320. You need a full ATX board with 8+2 phase power and heatsinked vrm's. This would be the cheapest board that can actually handle a six or 8 core FX cpu. GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P. Just Google "Asus M5A78L-m LX3, 8320 thermal throttling" and see what you come up with.

then explain why world pc would use Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P. Computers are expensive from stores so why wouldn't they put proper motherboard when they already making hundreds from each purchase http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/desktop-pc-monitors/deskt...
