I am going to purchase a new Motherboard that will actually be compatible with my CPU unlike the one i currently have.

I have a AMD FX-8350 CPU
Current Motherboard is a Gigabyte 760g
500 PSU
and looking to buy:

I was reading that when you turn on your computer after installing the new motherboard you get a blue screen and have to update Bios, but how do you do that? If you cant even get passed the boot screen then how do you update something. I was also reading that you can put Bios on a flash drive but where would i get the latest update from? I just dont understand how i do this :(

That's how I take it that's how I did all my system research the boards first see if they will use this or that cpu I cant see them listing it and not supporting the cpu....

This was taken from newegg

Pros: Really easy to set up. My G skill sniper ram and fx-8350 clocked out perfectly on first boot. The bios was really easy to sift through, though there isn't a ton of features. The overclocking utility took my cpu to 4.2 pretty easily. Also, set up three hard drives in a raid 0 just for fun that works great. All around, this is a great board for the price if you only want some minor overclocking and have one gfx card or only need simple crossfire set up.

This shows that this user was able to install a 8350 this month in that board ... I will suggest a good board for you tho a lot better if you ask me....
