My current specs

Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66GHZ
DDR2 2GB Transcend
GTX 660 Direct cuii OC edition
500GB SATA HDD
Intel G41 Mobo

So my 660 is getting bottlenecked VERY hard by my system ...9 FPS in all games

I am looking for upgrade...so here's what i've reached

AMD FX 6300

MSI 970A

Im going with AMD due to budget issues...needed a second opinion as i am a Intel fanboy
The mobo states it can SLI as i am  thinking of doing it in near future...is it any good with Fx 6300 & 660 oc ?

Plus suggest me RAM on the same site preferably 4GB & 8GB

I am building this as a long term investment ...& no i wont be overlockingWhile AMD is cheaper, I'd still say going with something like an Intel Core i5 would be a much better option.  SLI isn't really worth it unless you are running loads of monitors (Your card is already really good) so I'd spend the money that you would have spent on SLI and get the better CPU.

You'd also be best to avoid that MSI motherboard and get something from Gigabyte or ASUS.The Q8400 shouldn't be strangling your 660 to the point where you're getting 9fps, unless you're running only very CPU intensive games.  The 660 is a decent lower midrange card and the Q8400, although showing its age, is still capable of POWERING it to play most modern games, at least on medium settings.

That aside, I agree with the above, go for an i5 over any AMD processor if your priority is GAMING, and definitely avoid MSI motherboards.  I also agree that SLI isn't really worth it with a 660, you'd be better off spending you money on a better CPU/mobo/RAM combo and then buying a better single card further down the line.Building a new PC...not a CPU.

That's a myth spread by the end user itself for there own benefit.
Trying to speak like the batman joker? Sorry, I don't find it funny.

This board would be a good choice: http://www.flipkart.com/gigabyte-ga-990xa-ud3-motherboard/p/itmd5rrragjgfd8y?pid=MBDD5RRRYZQGUFWY&ref=f488fc25-b2e3-4edf-a25a-d067b6cfb151
 
This one doesn't support SLI but is substantially cheaper.  However, if you aren't going for SLI, go to Intel. http://www.flipkart.com/gigabyte-ga-970a-ds3-motherboard/p/itmdegdcpjujfrsc?pid=MBDDEG8JCM2W6Z7S&ref=d6124ca9-b20e-43b0-985e-d399adc7f3c1

The reason against MSI is that they are a budget brand and are not the best quality.  You can get parts from the likes of Gigabyte or ASUS around the same price and they tend to be much better quality.

I will still stand by my comment about the i5 being much better, especially since you said you are wanting to keep this machine for a long time.

The first mobo u mentioned is too *censored* expensive...& the second mobo has bad reviews

THe site mentioned is india's most reliable & most used shopping site...u can check the price for urselves

I do not want to change the topic there as this would go into long discussion. Though the website has very bad reviews if you search Google.Its not your behavior, you are forcing yourself to behave like that with a bad attitude.

So i am leaning towards this i5
