Solution
are you planning to overclock the cpu?
if no, get a intel cpu.
yes. the 8350 is a 8-core, but the i5 is so much better per core then the amd option, so i recommend a 4440 or a 4460.
if yes, the mobo is compatible, and if you get a good bang for buck cooler like the 212 evo, you can get a mild-good overclock on your cpu.
Hope this helps

Why do you want to get the FX 8350? Gaming? Any editing?
Speaking by the benchmarks I have seen on the web (I have seen a ton of them) ( yes I also am saving some money for my next gaming build) i5 4460 beats the FX 8350 in nearly all cases, even on some highly threaded games.
Also, to unlock the real power of FX, you probably need to overclock, CPU+ a good motherboard + a good cooler costs just too much.
If you really count pennies, get a i5 4460/4440 (whichever is cheaper at the time) and a H81 motherboard and use the stock cooler. Don't worry, they PROBABLY will send the mobo with BIOS up to date, so it'll run perfect.
If not, get a H97/Z97 motherboard if you will use the extra features. (Yes, in some countries, Z97 boards cost the same or even less)
