Hi everyone! I'm upgrading my pc soon and the motherboard i have now is a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 and was wondering should I upgrade it to a new motherboard or can I put any CPU in ti with the socket AM3. The new CPU im getting is a AMD FX 8370.

That board is a poor match for a 125w CPU.

Board not really designed to run 125w FX chips.
