Hello everyone!
I have AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2 Processor. My motherboard is Asus M4A79T DELUXE Socket AM3 ATX AMD 790FX.

I want to buy this CPU "AMD FX-8350, 8x 4.00GHz" , does my motherboard support this CPU? Or do I have to change my MoBo also? If yes, which MoBo do you recommend me?
My RAM are : 12 GB DDR3 MHz 1333 , 2x4GB Kingston and 2x2GB OCZ

Will my RAM be OK with the CPU I mentioned? Any recommendation or comment about my question please?
Thank you!
