Hey there, I'm planning to upgrade my computer soon :')
My goal is to use the AMD FX-8320.
I want to check if it works with the Asrock Z97 anniversary and if yes, can I overclock it using the stock cooler?
Thanks ^^

Avoid overclocking with the stock cooler; they don't work together. One is Intel, the other is AMD.

No need for overclocking with the stock cooler, as it isn't compatible. One is Intel and the other is AMD. Which Intel CPU would you recommend? My budget is around 200 CAD, and I have the G3258 ATM.

I would set aside money for a 4690k, for that board.
