get the 8320, the only reason its clocked lower than the 8350 is because it used more energy than what they set as 'bechmark' for it....

Get the 8320. It's good. Also for the GPU, originally, the VRM was overheating but they put out a new fix for it. It's a really good card if you ask me.

Sure, great choice, you will have a ton more FPS and 8320 is nothing less than underclocked 8350.

Go for the more powerful GPU. The 8320 can overclock to beat an 8350 or even a 9370. Why do you think almost nobody (Mentalguy and Spannerhands excluded) buys the FX 9370/9590?

Ok so i was going to get a 8350 with a Asus 270x but im thinking of getting a 8320 and a MSI 280x instead.Let me now what you think about the change and if i should or not.

 

(Used for gaming)

yea thats definitly alot better. the diffrence between the 2 cpu's is marginal whereas the difference between the graphics card is very significant

JUST LIKE HOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME BY MY REAL NAME. THESLSAMG DOES JUST FINE.

 

OP, I agree with this. The 280X is definitely worth it, but get a good looking one, like the ASUS DirectCU II or as you stated the MSI Gaming.
