What is your price range?
I'll post some depending on your price range soon.

First, why do you want an 8 core processor? Can you name a single thing you do with your computer that will benefit from even 6 cores? (Hint - gaming won't)

What are you running in your current system and whats your budget for upgrading? Pretty much any motherboard from the last ~10 years will support the 7850, it just needs a PCI-e slot so thats not a major concern, your current system could likely support it and you may be able to sneak a more useful/realistic CPU upgrade into your current system.

If you are using it mainly for Photoshop, an Nvidia graphics card may be better, mostly depending on which version(cs6?, cs6? cc?).

These are some good boards for the FX series.
I have the first one, works great and I am a huge photoshoper.
