Save you some money and get an ASRock 990FX Extreme9 it's more than capable of handling any FX you can throw at it.

At NewEgg the Sabertooth is only $15.00 Usd higher than the Asrock EXT9. That is not a deal breaker when you are talking about the foundation from which everything else must build off of and plug into. Not shett overall when depending on the board to support all the stuff one might choose to plug in and then clock to hale and back.
That said, the EXT9 seems to be a good board, but I certainly would not let $15.00 Usd make or break the deal. We got too many coming in here now with underpowered shett trying to clock up.

But you can OC 8320 to the performance of 8350.

The Extreme9 is far from under powered. It took my FX-6300 to 5.8GHz

Buy the sabertooth board hands down
If you can get the 8350 I would but the 8320 will be just as good
I only got the 8320 cause they was out of 8350 at the time i bought mine

He is probably 6,000 mile from the nearest Microcenter.

I have both and quite frankly the extreme9 is the better board.

Damn, just looked the specs of EX9, it has 12+2 power phase, for example Sabertooth has 8+2 power phase... It's a beast, just like it's PRICE!
Since money is a problem, i can get ST for 160 but EX9 for 204.
Even though EX9 would be quite a better choice, i will stick to SaberTooth, until EX9 is at least more than 25% better due to the price.

The Sabretooth is already overkill by a little bit. It'll be fine.

What temps are you getting when the cpu is maxed out?

That number won't mean anything to you as your CPU will not likely overclock at the same voltage as his.

You're going to buy a Sabretooth and even consider not overclocking? Obviously you should overclock on a board like that. Get an NHD14 cpu cooler.
