Gaming is more GPU dependant than CPU dependant. If you wanna shell out 30k, Asus Crosshair V Formula + AMD FX 815 0 + a 1600 mhz RAM kit, would be my suggestion.

If only gaming, then you can ditch 8150 for AMD 960T. No performance difference will be experienced. If you still insist on shelling out 30k for mobo+proccy alone, then i'd rather suggest to go for an Intel config...

An AMD build at this budget will more likely server two purposes - Great multi core performance + Good Gaming performance.

An Intel build will serve - Good multi core performance + Great gaming performance.

So for gaming at this budget, an Intel config makes more sense than the AMD one, as a gamer might not need an 8 core processor, but only demands full performance in games without any compromise.

intel wins for now
