Just for the record. I didn´t look for compatibility when I bought the MSI970a-G43 for my brand new AMD FX-8350. And I can tell you guys I haven´t had problems so far. I've been using the computer for seven months. Although If I had known that mobo had some troubles, I wouldn't have bought it. The only thing that bothers me: it is slow on startup, using windows 7. Heat is less than 50°C using Corsair h55 quiet Edition. But everything else is fine. I don´t OC. I'm also using an Sapphire HD 7770 and 16 GB of corsair's RAM (2x8 @ 1600mhz). It's been reliable for me so far. I haven't updated BIOS firmware since I bought it. (September 2013)

I think you should get a better mobo for fx 8350.
It supports fx 8320 but I have read before that fx 8350 is not on the supported list (it might have been updated now). You should get a better motherboard atleast like asus m5a97 r2.0 or get fx 8320 which is really close to fx 8350 if you wan't it to work with msi 970 mobo.
