Please help me find a suitable motherboard for my graphics card! I'm looking in to upgrading my Desktop motherboard from an As-rock FM2A88M PRO 3+ to something that will fit my R9 380 XFX double dissipation 2GB DDR5 graphics card. I don't know to much about it though in terms of expansion and 'PIN" count; it requires 1x 16 and 1x 6? (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

|The Motherboard I'm looking for|
I need to find a motherboard that has an AM3 CPU socket so that I may upgrade my CPU to a/an FX-8350.

It would be most appreciated if I receive help for selecting the best suited for the upgrade! A big tremendous thank you for future reference!
 
Solution
ASRock FM2A88M PRO3+ is Form Factor - Micro ATX Form Factor
I assume that is the size you want. I assume you want an AM3+ motherboard since a FX-8350 is an AM3+ CPU.

ASRock 970M Pro3

This motherboard has the AMD 970 chipset, which is better than the AMD 760G chipset on other Micro ATX Form Factor models.

Video card power requirements:
External Power - Two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors
Minimum Power Supply Requirement : 550 watt
