Why AMD?

Because I'll be overclocking and don't want to have to spend more money to be able to overclock.

But a locked i5 for around the same price performs better than an overclocked 8350 in games.

I'll probably upgrade later on, but I'll only be playing at 1080p.

All the more reason to use intel. IPC performance is more important at 1080p.

 

get an i5 4460 and any h97 motherboard and it will perform better in every game than an 8350. Also the 8350 will make your room catch fire from heat production (not literally but i used to have one and pretty damn close)

I'm used to playing games at 15fps. I think that it will be fine. xD

i5 is the difference between 70 and 120 in some games. Let alone 3 years from now.

You don't need this cooler for a xeon that doesn't allow overclocking ^^ Just get a cheap one as I picked just to not have to deal with the loud, stock one

As for the motherboard, you can choose any that you find best in terms of features/looks.
