Hi guys. I need a new CPU and mobo and was planing to shop for these on black Friday. My budget for this is 160 Dollars and i found some amazing deals on microcenter. I was wondering, why is the 8320 cheaper than the 6300? Also can you give me advice on which combo is the best. Any repose is appreciated.

The 8320 is godly, buy it now.  Plan on buying an aftermarket cooler for any fx CPU in my opinion.

The 8320 is somehow cheaper than the 6300 lol in the microcenter website so I would go with the 8320 and a Asus M5A78L-M/USB3.

I'm getting that but instead of that mobo I'm getting the 990fx one.

The 990FX chipset is great for the FX8320, I have an FX8350 (CoolerMaster Hyper 412 Slim, I'd swapped stock fans with a single Corsair SP Performance fan) @ 4.5ghz on an Asus Crosshair V Formula mobo and it hits 65C only when my room gets hot w/o AC, and when I'm decoding/encoding a movie. I have it back at 4ghz simply because it's plenty fast at stock.
