MSI 970A-G46 Motherboard looking for CPU

[Canto666Tom]

As the title states, I have a new MSI 970A-G46 Motherboard and am looking for a good AMD CPU to go along with it. What AMD CPU's lay within the range of around 4ghz 8-core's and are efficient with this board without heat damage.

If you want to use a FX 8core, get a 990fx chipset mobo. MSI were about the worst of the 970 series.

990FXA-GD80V2 How about this board? Will this run a decent fx8-core?

Lastly would the AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz 125W be a good match for that 990FXA-GD80V2?

Yes - they'll work together well.
