Piledriver OC on a budget

[bluebox]

My current Q6600 box has died and I'm on a strict budget from SWMBO so i5/i7 are both out and I'm looking at the 8320/8350. I'm not a gamer but need to run a few Virtual Machines so 8 cores and 16GB RAM ( will upgrade to 32GB later ) will be useful.

So my question is:
If I want to OC the 8320 or 8350 do I need a 990 motherboard or will the Gigabyte 970A-DS3 do the job?

Looks like the 970A-UD3 might be a better bet then with 8+2 power.
That decides the 8320 vs 8350 choice too as I'm guessing the 8320 in a UD3 is a better bet than the 8350 in a DS3.

Have done it now FX 8320 and a Gigabyte 970A-UD3

Phoned up OCUK after I'd ordered online and been told the motherboard will definitely be at the right BIOS level to support the 8320.
