hi i want to change my motherboard & processor , i have intel i5 but was looking at going with amd. i have looked at this processor -

Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8350 Black Edition 4.00GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail

now i just need a motherboard that will have good specs but within £100 range , it will be mainly used for video editing with some online browser gaming & found this

990X-Gaming SLI AMD 990X (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard

i already have 16gb DDR3 RAM so i want to use that for now as i cant afford to upgrade to DDR4 , any help or opinions would be appreciated.

not sure if an overclocked bundle would be within my budget of £250 or just buy seperate

no not a gaming pc just video editing & online browser game , rest is just net browsing. im not sure how to overclock it but that would be a good option , so if i changed graphics card & got decent cooler then i could sort the overclocking out. just need advice on cooler + graphics card now
