Dont use an MSI board with AMD.

 

Their current boards have lots of issues. Some are missing LLC and others have had some rather exotic issues.

 

Get a 990FXA-UD3 Rev 4.0 if you want a budget AMD board that will OC well with 8320/8350s.

I'd say go the HD3 from Gigabyte. I would not recommend AsRock motherboards.

This question gets raised so often that this should be stickied: 

 

Simple answer is the i5 is much faster, but only if you're using a top end GPU. Otherwise, there won't be a meaningful difference.
