for the rest if you want max performance you're better of with 6400 oc with its bigger cache, if you want more budget then the 5000 is nice

good to see there are still people thinking about the future, 790fx is THE board that has future with its 3-4 pci-e 2.0 slots.

for the board, i have the msi one, same price as you're gigabyte ds-5 but more features , its a nice budget board but missing some bios options, probably gigabyte better with that, dfi very hard to find and m2rs even worse.
this one?
