Hello , Just wanted to find out of the Asus M5A97 R2.0 motherboard can utilize the AMD fx 8350 properly.

Intended use is for gaming , I don't intend to over-clock at the moment , but might be interested in overclocking once I have educated myself enough on it. I do have a Cooler master Hyper 212 evo cooler for the processor as well. I just wanted to know If there would be any issues with this combo or should I go for something else.

And also does the M5A97 have USB 3.0 headers for the case USB slots ?

Yes its a really good board fit for the 8350..

and yes there is headers for the case.. 2 usb 3.0 to be exact

a better board would be a M5A99X EVO R2.0 or a M5A99FX PRO R2.0 (which i highly recommend)
