As the title says I want to upgrade from the a8 APU to an other fm2+, maybe the new Amd zen?
I really don't want to switch to like Am3+, Intel etc. As I will need to rebuy Windows and backup, all that hassle.
So any recommEndations or should I wait?!?!

The Athlon x4 880k is the best cpu that the fm2+ supports, but it would not be a very big upgrade for you. Your best bet is to overclock your A8 if you need more cpu power.

Zen will not be compatible with your motherboard.

The Bristol Ridge APUs and subsequent generations won't be on FM2+ either.
