Help me cut am3+ or fm2+

[Daster771]

Hi, I'm scratching my head right now on my choice of motherboard / CPU new mix.
I plan on gaming on 3 screens. Buying an AMD R9 and later, another one. I also have 1866 DDR3 memory.

Option 1 - FM2+ - $300
Motherboard - ASUS A88X-PRO FM2+ : Newegg Link
CPU - AMD A10-6800K : Newegg Link

Option 2 - AM3+ - $320
Motherboard - ASUS Sabertooth : Newegg Link
CPU - AMD FX-6350 : Newegg Link

What i know :
Option 1 - PCie 3.0 only on FM2+. Dual x8.
Option 2 - L3 Cache is good for gaming. Dual x16.

I want to keep this system for maybe 5 years and so i thought to go for option 1 then upgrade the CPU if needed in 1 or 2 years.
Do you think they'll ever release FM2+ CPU with L3 Cache? Or will high end gaming be on a new socket entirely?

Thank you for your thoughts.

well, you are going to buy an video card, so the A10 would be nonsense
definitely go for the FX cpu
personally, i wouldn't go for the FX 6350, I would go for the FX 6300 and use the saved money for an aftermarket cooler, e.g. the cooler master hyper 212 evo:

this would work really well with your fx cpu

your question about high end gaming:
if you really want to get everything out of your rig, go for an i5 haswell, it has much more single threaded performance and in terms of gaming, you will gain much more performance out of it

by the way, you created "mailto" links for your parts, not actual urls
