I know this has been asked before. But I wanted to give you my mobo model and see what you think. I purchased this a couple years back figuring I would upgrade so it's the 890FX that is SUPPOSE to be AM3+ ready. It's an ASRock 890 FX Deluxe 5. It's running a 955BE OC at 3.8 with aftermarket cooler. I was just wondering if the FX8350 would be an upgrade. I game mostly but also do video encoding. And I would wait for deals or sales.
