Motherboard/CPU Combo

So I'm picking out a new motherboard and CPU at first i was thinking about getting the AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz with the ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard but then i read that this processor has performance issues. I started Looking Towards Intel CPU's, I narrowed it down to these. (i am aware the Intel CPU has no heat sink, i have other plans for a heat sink)

AMD Combo:

AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor

what are you do with them? if its gaming, they both suck.

an i7 3820 with that motherboard is like a Lamborghini with cheap and ugly wheels. if you're gonna get an X79 plataform get an i7 3930k or a 3960x.
