Amazon has the AMD FD8320FRHKBOX FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor for $153 with free shipping. Features Piledriver microarchitecture, 8MB L3 cache, and Advanced Vector Extensions. Great Newegg reviews.
Stick with the Phenum II 975. Bulldozer was an epic failure for AMD and the Piledriver architecture which was supposed to be so much better offers only marginal improvements. Biggest problem is the power efficiency is horrible and they're not true quad or octo cores. S I'm a long time AMD fanboy too.

Ah you know this isn't Bulldozer... while can anyone still find a Phenom II X4 975 (HDZ975FBGMBOX) in the wild?
Anyone using this? I know my 975 black edition rocks.
