    Switch to intel and get either the i5 4670K or the i5 4690K.

    I'm not being biased here but intel is better than AMD for gaming.

    The 4670K has a 50% better FPS rate in games which is absolutely huge. You can hear more about it hear with side by side FPS stats in games;

    Although this one compares the 4670K and the 8320, the 8350 is literally the exact same CPU as the 8320, they just set the factory default clock settings a bit higher which makes absolutely no difference whatsoever.

    A asus crosshair V formula 990fx mobo and a 8350 this mobo is good for running crossfire of the 7850 or any other crossfire mobo with a 990fx chipset
