Off topic, but ironically the original purpose of overclocking was to make cheap CPU's as fast as expensive ones. I remember my Athlon XP beating the pants off P4's that cost more than twice as much. Intel's marketing team has completely changed the nature of this market. :(

For gaming don't go for AMD...Intel is Good.

AMD FX8350 rig will give you pretty much similar or even lesser performance varying from games to games , while costing you way more. Since AMD CPUs tend to run hotter than their Intel counter-parts with FX8350 notoriously known for it so you will have to invest in After-market Cooler for the CPU along with a better cabinet to accommodate more air-flow.
[ Higher power-consumption meaning higher electricity bills , More stress on the PSU as well. ]

The 8350 does boast of 8 cores but then most games won't utilize more than 4 cores as such. Only the games built on recent engines utilize more than 4 cores.
For playing previous generation games and current generation games , I would prefer an Intel i5 chip rather than any AMD chip because of Single Core performance.
i5's single core performance is better than FX8350's performance , and thus would trump it in games that use 4 cores or less. And since you are going use Nvidia GPUs so stick with Intel as AMD goes better with AMD GPUs ( some would deny this claim , but trust me there are tons of proof over the trusted sources ).

Gigabyte has released latest revision of the Mobo i.e REV 2.0 in which they have removed some of the components. (may be to reduce the cost)

see here the pic , left one is REV 1.0 and Right REV 2.0

Spot the differences: Gigabyte motherboard revisions present markedly different test results | Hardware.Info United States

IF you are getting old rev 1.0 mobo then there is no issues :)

Alternative would be ASUS B85M-G

rev 1 sata 3 = 2slots rev 2 sata 3 = 4slots

Gigabyte GA-B85-HD3 (rev. 2.0) vs Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H (rev. 1.0) Mobo compatibility performance comparison

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

srry every thing seems same, except for the dimensions of mobo, just checked official website
