maybe you should go with a 990fx chipset board, a good cheap one is the asus m5a99fx pro r 2.0, make sure it is the 2.0

Honestly 1150 is a flat out better platform for gaming. An 8350 just gets smacked by similarly priced locked i5's. You also don't have any upgrade path in the future with AM3+.

I am trying to be as low price as possible for the rest of this build. Thought about the Pentium anniversary but I need at least a quad core.

similarly priced??? the 8350 on newegg is 120$ THATS A STEAL

 

and still normally it is 200 i think, that is still 50$ less than the 4690k

 

just throwing this out there

yea the pentium just does not cut it on the new AAA titles even with a 4.7 ghz OC, even you you liquid nitorgen the shit out of it , its still a dual core

 

if you want a CPU at the same price as the pentium go for the 860k, its quad core and unlocked

That is more expensive though, I only want to spend $50-$80 on a mobo, unless it has wifi then I will go up to $100 ish.

yea, i plan on getting that one later on the holidays, but if you are a heavy video editor or steamer? then the 8000 series beats any locked i5

 

Edit: the only reason i will get a locked i5 vs an 8000 series is because my case is micro atx

They perform about the same in heavily threaded tasks (like rendering/streaming) but an 8320 is definitely a better value for those things. 

Even if I was streaming/rendering I would still spend the $30 or so premium so I can get that huge gaming performance increase (games like Arma/DayZ/a lot of MMOs/SC2 are apparently unplayable on AMD). Then I'd stream with quicksync.

quicksync is using the CPU's iGPU to render right?

Yup, and there's very little performance hit (if at all) at ~2-5k bitrate (which is what most people use for streaming).
