Well it seems the FX-8320 isn't on the CPU support list
http://www.asrock.com/support/CPU.asp
but if you already have the board contact customer support and ask them, they should know.

I don't have the board yet but I will buy this combo but I'm not sure on this board as in the CPU support list it doesn't have the 8320. This makes things more complicated.

Help!

Suggest going with this Gigabyte 970 UD3 board unless you're specifically looking for the Crossfire/SLI support of a 990FX board:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128651

Much better power setup than that Asrock and at a pretty good price too!

*Note- this will be my next board if I build another FX-8350 rig :)

I wanted a 990FX chipset for my upgrade build.

How about these? Just really depends on the price and availability here in my place.

Is it compatible for 8320/8350 out of the box?

I have messaged my retailer here for those gigabyte mobos.

I will have Crossfire for the upgrade setup. I think UD3 will support x8/x8 Crossfire.
no
the 970 chipsets support x8 x8
the 990fx support x16 x16 x8
