I currently have an AMD FX-4300, and am looking for an upgrade. I am thinking about getting an FX-8350. I was hoping someone could shed some light on compatibility (Mostly Software/BIOS related) with my current setup. Here is a list of my components. I do have a watercooler as well, so the high heat output shouldnt be a problem.
CPU - AMD FX-4300
GPU - EVGA GTX 1050 2GB
RAM - 12GB @1600 MHz
Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3
PSU - EVGA 750 Watt
Another option is to save up for a while and get a Ryzen series, but I would rather keep most of what I already have if it is worth it to upgrade just the CPU, not essentially my whole system.
