I may sound stupid, but whats the difference besides clock speeds on the chips? The 8350 is ~$220 while the 8320 is ~190. When they both turbo boost there at ~4.1 ghz. I really dont see a differnce in the chips beside stock clocks. This is the real big question. If they were both at 4 ghz would they both perform the same. Are they the same chip just one comes overclocked?
 
Solution
Yes, one is just clocked slightly higher, they would perform the same if they were both clocked at 4GHz, save your self a few bucks and get the 8320, you can overclock the CPU to 4.2GHz and you have a 8350 for a cheaper price.

EDIT- With the extra money you could get a aftermarket heatsink.
