It's difficult to say which CPU works best with this board or that board, but generally the latest CPU is the best.

Fx-8370E, it's a lower wattage revision of the standard 8 thread FX cpus, but good luck finding one. Most likely will be the FX-8320E which is also a lower wattage cpu, vs the 8320/8350 but is slightly slower than the 8370E.

The problem isn't what will work, but what isn't going to kill an old mobo that's already suffering from capacitor degradation.

Maybe he means a brand-new motherboard.

A brand new FX mobo? No. NOS maybe. Gigabyte doesn't manufacture FX boards anymore that I know of, any new ones left are just overstock that's been sitting on shelves or in warehouses from SI's for several years now. That or they are recapped in a Chinese factory and sold as new/refurbished at discount prices.
