None of those boards will work with a 8320, you need a am3+ socket mobo, get something like this:

And you can consider to get a cheaper FX 6300, and use the money saved on the cpu to get a better gpu, like a r9 270, or maybe even a r9 280.

Look at benchmarks between different manufacturers, they perform pretty much the same, the most notable difference is the cooler design, this is one has a promo and its quite good:

And for a 280, this one performs well:

There are a lot of options, its up on what is your budget for this.
