No, it doesn't even support the 8350, probably due to weak uncooled vrms.

The R2.0 version of that board does have it listed but still has weak vrms and is a poor choice. For an 8350 you want a board with a decent vrms and a decent vrms cooling setup. That website only has 4 am3+ boards and the only decent one of the bunch is the 990fx. Look for a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P it will work well with an 8350 and is usually a decent price.

Would any of these work well with the fx-8350?

Don't say the 990fx mobo as is is too expensive for my budget.

Upon further inspection the 990fx is the only board in the list that actually supports the 8350, the other 3 boards don't.

Will getting the fx-8320 make a difference?
