So, I'm an idiot and bought an AMD FX-8350 not realizing my current motherboard doesn't support CPUs over 95Ws. I'd like to keep my CPU and replace my motherboard, what board should I buy? I don't care about overclocking my CPU, so that isn't an issue. I have a EVGA 700W Bronze PSU and 16GBs of RAM over two sticks. One 1TB HDD, a CD drive and a dinky R7 240 video card that I'm planning on replacing.

I had an FX-8350 in my last build. Any board from Asus or Gigabyte will do you just fine. Try and avoid MSI boards. I have had nothing but issues with them over the last year. Thier graphics cards are pretty solid, but their boards are trouble.

The board I was running was this Gigabyte board:

I was using it for a video/audio workstation PC and did a little bit of gaming on it as well. Pretty solid board, and offers room for upgrades.
