Upgrading to an AMD-FX 8350, which motherboard shall I get?

callum118 · Dec 19, 2014

Hi,

I'm upgrading my CPU to an AMD-FX 8350 (possibly the 8370) and need to get a new motherboard to facilitate the upgrade. I'm looking for a cheap motherboard (50 - 80 quid). Which would you recommend?

Also, I have a Sapphire R9 270 GPU and a XFX TS 550W PSU. Will these be compatible with the 8350/70 and the new motherboard?

Thanks!
