I am looking for a better CPU before deciding to intel. I currently have a AMD FX(tm) 6200 with 3.8 GHZ and my motherboard can withhold 140 watts

Google the motherboard you have. That should point you to the manufacturer's website. There will be a CPU support list under the support options (for most motherboards). Verify that the FX 8730E is supported. If so then note the BIOS version (probably the latest). Download the latest BIOS and read the instructions on the manufacturer's website on how to update your BIOS.
