I want to upgrade my mother board

The msi 970 Gaming motherboard toASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ AMD 990FX is it worth it

What are you hoping to gain? Motherboard upgrades rarely add much to performance, even if they allow a higher overclock. If you just want to upgrade to overclock for the sake of overclocking, then the Crosshair is probably good, since it's one of the best AM3+ overclocking motherboards. But otherwise, if you're trying to gain performance, I wouldn't really bother.

Why do you want to upgrade? If it's for performance, not worth it. If it's for SLI/Crossfire, not worth it... For overclocking, might be worth it, but I would personally not do it.

Thanks I don't want to over clock I thought it be higher performance I just bought a 935 Stacker and wanted to do some upgrading .

No problem Unfortunately, the AM3+ socket in your motherboard does limit you in performance upgrades for the CPU if you already have an octa-core. Your best bet then would be to save up more and go to an Intel CPU, or wait and see what AMD comes up with in 2016. Otherwise, though, there's not much upgrading we can do on the CPU front.
