Any AMD Socket AM3 and AM3+ CPU up to 95W TDP are compatible with your motherboard... the following are the faster 95W FX CPUs. The number is the Benchmark result so the speed difference is just 5%... the price difference is around $40 (between 8320E and 8370E... 8300 and 8310 are apparently not available online)

AMD FX-8320E Eight-Core 7422

AMD FX-8310 Eight-Core 7712[/strike]
AMD FX-8370E Eight-Core 7826
