Guys i've been planning to build myself a new rig, and here is the config :

Gtx 970
8gb Gskill ripjaws (1333 mhz)
Corsair GS700
Corsair 350d

And motherboard : if I take Intel -MSI Z97 PC Mate
if I take AMD -MSI 970 Gaming Edition

So now the question is that should i take the 8350 for its 8 cores (as next gen games probably use more multicores) or the hexacore i7 980x?? I wanna be future proof guys!!
 
Solution
There is no such thing as future proof, but price/performance i would go for the 8350. At least out of the two CPUs that you listed. The i7-4770k is a better option than the 970. Tech has come along way since the 900 series of CPUs.
