FX-8370 and a Gigabyte motherboard with the 970X or 980FX chipset.
I do believe the AMD guy meant the 990FX because the 980FX isn't a thing.....
For the money I have seen the FX6300 on sale for under $100 which is phenomenal for the money. If you are planning to build AM3+ you are almost forced to build full ATX. Not a problem if that was what you had in mind because there are plenty of great full featured ATX boards for the AM3+, but if you want something Micro or Mini not so much.
Well Im looking to go full ATX but it will bein the future, maybe 6 months
I have a gigabyte 990FX board and it seems to do well for the price I paid. Paired with an 8350 and it can handle pretty much anything I throw at it....
