You should have no issues with the most current BIOS and 95w FX-8320E
(it's the same price of the FX-8320, was 'baked' this past Summer, and will likely OC much higher than the original FX-8320)

If you have never flashed a BIOS, you should likely use the Gigabyte @BIOS flashing utility from within Windows.
You should also contact Gigabyte and verify the Rev 4.1 will support the FX-8320E --- it is not on the CPU support list for that revision, but likely should (and will) be on the list soon.

Can you amend your support ticket to note your issues with @BIOS ?
Did you choose the Win7 64-bit version in the drop-down menu at the top of the page?

We know the regular FX-8320 is qualified, and it's the same price as the 'E' (as of now).
The -E is simply a newer chip (and likely higher-binned). Though the base speed is a bit lower the Turbo speeds are the same.
I suggested the -E because it's flying past the older model FX-8320 in OC'ing, is 95w, and would be a near-perfect solution for a 4+1 phase motherboard like the Gigabyte.
What CPU are you using, now?
