Any of those builds would make a good gaming system. The 8320 would be better on a 990FX motherboard.
I recommend this power supply:

It has more power than your system requires. It is better than the CX series.
I would recommend picking a CPU cooler to replace the stock coolers on the AMD processors. The Cooler Master Hyper EVO (or the TX3) is a good choice:

It will allow for some overclocking.
Have you chosen a case?

Cooler Master Elite 370 - 42€. Why 990FX board? Becouse of overclocking?
Yeah. The 8320 is compatible with the 970 motherboards. However, to get the most out of the 8320 I would recommend 990. If you do not want to reach a high overclock, you can use the 8320 on a 970
:)
I read that the only thing that 990fx adds are better pci lines for crossfire. Is this true or not?
They run at full bandwidth, should have better voltage regulation and power phases. It's largely to do with overclocking. As I said above, the 970 will be ok for mild overclocking with the 8320.
