If you go with a locked chip (i.e. a non K chip) then go for H77.

As for the Bulldozer thing, the only Bulldozer CPU's worth buying are the quad core one's because they're cheap and are great for gaming. The 6 & 8 core CPU's are just crap and Intel's i5's and i7's are a much better choice than them
 
That was €50 ago.. fx8120 is as good as a 3570k at the same clock speeds except single threaded. Only bad thing is energy and heat but people go with giant coolers anyway
That's exactly the point - most games use 2-4 cores so most of the 8120s power is not used. Over 4 thread performance the 3570k will kick it's ass and is therefore better for games.

If he were wanting to render videos then the 8120 is a good choice for the same price because it will use all its cores.
 
looks really well. I think i have to sell my XBox 360 then ;-) no need for it then so it will sell on ebay and give me the extra money i need for your build...
Better decent now then frustrated for one year. Still if there are better ideas i will appreciate them.
