the problem with user reviews is that people are far, far more likely to review the product if they've had a bad experience than if they had a good experience.

How much do you usually charge for a nanosuit? I want two,in black.
 
OT: I'm a gigabyte GPU fanboy,but msi seems to have the highest quality cards though :v . You should probably get the XFX though,lifetime warranty,yes,LIFETIME!

Yeah,I'm counting on it Don't know how a dual core performs so damn well but guess we'll have to see.

You can find the known OC capable boards here.

The G3258 and an R9 270 will  be a good setup

Well,I'm not exactly from Canada or US either,I live in Europe,We have somewhat different and higher prices in EU,everything is about ~25% to 30% more expensive than it is in the US,I wish we had a microcenter,I'd get the whole pc for 400 $ lol. Anyway,I looked at a MSI H81M-P33 and it looks like people hit 4.5 on it and switched the 750ti for a r9 270 since it's...well it's pretty much the same pricetag.

Pentium G3258. Reason for that is mostly every game you named off isn't very heavily threaded. So core performance is going to be way more beneficial than core count. Especially if she tends to play a lot of MMO's. The G3258 will out perform a overclocked 760k if that's the case. You'll hit a GPU barrier with either more than likely so I would go the G3258 route to save on power and have an upgradable platform.

I don't know you but I hate you for having a girlfriend that plays games, especially on PC.

Edit: Also I suggest the smallest case possible, women find small things cute (well, some things anyways).

Am I the only one over here who doesn't give a fck about what's better?As long as my CPU can handle games without problems and without bottlenecking my GPU,I wouldn't give a damn what's better,lol. And my cheap as hell 8320 OC does the job perfectly,payed less than half of the price for a i7 and I can max out any game,why would I need more than this,lel.

yes it is by 0.80 v actually,lol,stock it's 1.320v and he has 1.24 during full load,lol.

yes it would,I believe the voltages in bios are good,but something throttles the CPU and it STILL overheats,I can't really figure it out without seeing some screenshots from the bios. Or you may just have a really horrible horrible HORRIBLE 8320 chip that can't overclock at all
 
nevermind you have a gigabyte mobo just like me,go back to bios,reset everything to default. Then go to voltage and make sure everything is on auto for now. Don't bump the voltage,then get back to the advance frequency settings,change the multiplier to 20 or w/e it is for 4.0 ghz,go to advance core features or w/e it's called . disable turbo. leave all the power eff features enabled and enable HPC as well. Save profile  and save and exit. Try now. if it works go back and try 4.2 ghz. It should still handle if you have a decent chip. Mine does 4.4ghz stock. I only need to bump the voltage for 4.5 ghz

This.
I facepalmed when OP said "all 8 cores at 100% load". That's not bottlenecking. Bottlenecking in this situation is when the CPU isn't strong enough to let the GPU be utilized 100%. It doesn't matter how much the CPU is utilized. It matters how much the game's engine utilizes the CPU fully.
Most games are single core. Some are multi-core but only do 2 or 4 threads. They don't know how to use all 8 cores on an 8350. So they only use what they can which isn't enough for the GPU to be used 100%. That's what the bottleneck is.
