Unlike the 125W FX-8320, the FX-8320e is only a 95W processor. Chances are it failed to pass muster at 125W and had to be sold as the 8320e.

You'll probably be able to run it as a FX-8320, but it may have a higher wattage demand than 125W. As long as you don't plan on OC'ing it beyond "stock" 8320 specs, you can probably live with it. But for $20, I'd get the real thing.
