   Kool thanks , yea that's the route I'm planning. Well aside from disassembling as I'm guessing none of it will be any good for the ryzen system, Curious tho....you mention the 970 not fully supporting the FX chips but this one says its supports up to the 220w 9370 and 9590 chip, as well as having usb 3.1 that the extreme 6 doesn't....probably unrelated just made me curious is all

	Toss up. That particular MB would be fine running the 95w 8320E or even some of the 125w Fx's for that matter. Yet, the 970 chipset was out before the AM3+ FX's and as such don't fully support the FX silicon. Looking at your Sig just now if the 990FX board is built and running, heck yea, put that 8320E on the 970. I assume you'll disassemble the 8320E/970 when Ryzen(new Zen naming) shows up for sale and build the Ryzen/X370 in it's place? My 2cents on it anyways.

	So instead of going out and getting a 9590 + Liquid setup, with Zen coming out I opted the cheaper route of an 8320e as an upgrade for my 6300 990 fx xt6 setup....was all set to order through amazon when I discovered a store ...geographically sorta close....to me. Not only did they have it $20 cheaper but are running a special mobo combo deal which result in some all but free...after rebate. I figured id stick with Asrock and grabbed the 970a board , for little more than just the cpu from amazon/newegg . To the point of the post...any reason to not just put the 8320e on the 970 or should I swap it onto the 990....anything it does way better / noticeably so...?
