Here's a full CPU compatibility list for your motherboard : http:// -
It seems that the fx-8350 should work after the BIOS update so you should be good to go then.

Yes. At stock speed the CPU should run fine on that board. If you overclock you might run into issues though.

Since BIOS version F1 for revision 1.0 of the motherboard and since BIOS version FA of the 2.0 revision of the motherboard.

You're looking at the wrong board. It's DS3P not the DS3 board.

+1 for this cautionary message.

The DS3P is OK, but I wouldn't OC much on it.

The UD3P is a better option without being too expensive.
