if you upgrade to a new processor you need to change your motherboard as well to the socket used by that cpu. and stay away from the 9370
Ya I figured that I was gonna need a new motherboard but I have to choose a new cpu to be able to decide what motherboard ill need.What reason should I stay away from 9370?Is a bad choice?What would you recommend to me for cpu?Like I said I use it for gaming and not really any fps but more so MMORPG guy.Thank you for your reply any info is allways helpful to me

any amd cpu that starts with 9 is a bad choice. for $240 you can get a i5-4670k and a hyper 212 EVO and overclock. then get a z87 motherboard
