Ok so their site said that its supported! But is it ok? I mean no OC or anything stupid will be done! (mAYBE i WILL TURN ON tURBO cORE) Tell me also about turbo core is it ok?

I just need the cheapest mobo to run my FX 8320. Going after the cheapest mobo becuase i need to buy an R9 290 if you could understand my situation. I need as much performance

You can use a 970 chipset with a 8+2 power phase motherboard with good VRM cooling. The Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P or MSI Gaming 970 have such a power phase and will run and OC the 8-core chips and a single graphics card well.

Go for the 990 chipsets only if you want dual graphics cards.

I would not recommend going into full-scale miser mode for the motherboard of a 125W CPU. People having trouble with their 8320/8350 throttling at stock on budget motherboards is a frequently topic here. What is the maximum you have in your budget for a motherboard that still allows you to get a 290?

for fx8*** series use 990fx minimum serius , DO NOT use 970 or below. it will burns your motherboard.
i already have msi 970 broken and 2 msi 990fx burns phase with fx8120.
my PSU TX750M.
MSI only use VRM 4+2 but they place 10 phase for the 990fx , my 2 msi 990fx burns at phase 7 above

No, 4+1 power phase and poor VRM cooling. It will throttle. The 2 970 motherboards you *should* run were recommended above by both myself and another poster.
