Disregard previous answer. Sorry for confusion, bad source, incomplete research.

According to MSI only first gen FX chips are supported: http://www.msi.com/support/mb/760GA-P43-FX.html#support-cpu

I believe in order to support AMD's 9000 series FX chip you will need a board that can support 220w CPUs. Then you are looking at quite a bit more expensive boards. Why not look at a 8320/8350/8370 FX chip instead?

Yes, that CPU will fit into that motherboard. They are compatible...both are socket AM3+

You are totally wrong. There are only a handful of boards that support the 9370 and 9590. They are all 970 and 990 chipset. That board would burst into flames. Literally.

You need a board with 8+2 phase power and a beefy mosfet heatsink to get any kind of a good experience with the 6 and 8 core FX chips. Even the 95 watt versions. Most of these boards are 990 chipset. Most are $125-$225. Sole exception is the GA-970-UD3P.

Thanks for the correction. I thought I wasusing a reputable source, but upon further research, I see you are correct.
