I have an AMD Fx4100 Bulldozer CPU and now I am thinking of upgrading, but the problem here is last month when my old motherboard went bad I bought another motherboard which is ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3. (Rev.X.0x)

I am thinking of getting CPU from AMD Fx Piledriver series. For example 4300,6300,8320 or 8350. I haven't finalised what I am gonna get but it'll be from one of these. Could you please confirm if my current motherboard would support Piledriver series processors or would I end up buying motherboard too?

Aah that's very helpful. I hope my motherboard is not going to bottleneck the performance of 8370 incase if I bought it. :D

I never Overclock. I wanted to OC once when I had Phenom II but thing never happened. If I bought that then one thing is for sure I am never going to OC it.

I am just too scared to do it. I have another question but I guess I'll create another thread relevant to it.
Thanks again
