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

This is the CPU that a friend is buying and wants a good mobo to go with it that also has USB etc. Any ideas?
 
How much are they?

Edit: Think that would be over his budget.

What would be a good upgrade over his current GTX 460
 
Would this be a good combination please:


Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 AMD 990FX (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard [GA-990FXA-UD5]

Corsair XMS3 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX16GX3M2A1600C11) [CMX16GX3M2A1600C11]

MSI HD 7850 Twin Frozr III OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Cards w/ FARCRY3 & Sleeping Dogs PC Games [V273-003R]

AMD Bulldozer FX-4 Quad Core 4170 Black Edition 4.20Ghz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail [FD4170FRGUBOX]

It is a bit cheaper and he wont need 8 cores!! He cant afford an Intel system!

Also, could he save a bit more on graphics card and still play all games maxed out?
 
Theres no cards instock that I can see that are as good or significantly less money.


The GTX470/480's are sold out, the GTX560ti "448 core" is 7850 money.

The offers change tomorrow, so that board will go back to £141.98, there maybe deals on other items though.

Are the above items a good match?
