Hi

I'm looking to get a new motherboard, CPU,CPU cooler/closed loop water cooler, and memory for the purposes of streaming/gaming. My main games I play are Dayz,and BF3 games as well as playing other games and potentially streaming them in the future. I have an 650 dollar budget, but I really want to have the best bang for my buck. I'm wanting to overclock it too.
I already have a 128GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD, N570GTX Twin Frozr II/OC, NZXT phantom full case, and a 850wt power supply.

One of my friend told me about the FX 8350 and said its really good for streaming and gaming but i don't know much about AMDs CPUs.
PS. should i get 16gb of ram or is 8gb good for streaming.

1.The AMD FX 8350 is the best for streaming, as it beats Intel when it comes to programs that use more then 4 cores.
2. 16 GB is pushing it, 8GB is more then plenty
3. This Motherboard - Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($69.99 @ Newegg) - is the best when it comes to budget AMD AM3+ boards.

1. 8GB is cheaper, especially on newegg
2. I highy suggest you go with either Asus, Or Gigabyte for the motherboard, but if you cannot, that board is fine.
3. Either Cooler is fine for your CPU.

Would the motherboard from ausu m5A99FX be better than the MSI board?
And I want a motherboard that can overclock well and easily. And thank you for your help.

Ok cool but is there any better around the same price?
 
Probably not .

All mb's with the same chip set [ 990 fx] will perform identically . Some may OC a little better ot have added features , but unless you have a specific need for them then paying for them is a bit wasteful .
ASUS boards use digital control of on board voltages. This is good .
