Hey guys i need some help. Hopefully someone has the anwser. So right now i have a amd a10 6800k 4core a stick of ram of 8 gb @ 2400mhz the pc runs good but i want to upgrade to fx8350 but the thing is i dontknow which motherboard would take my ram. Anyone has any idea suggestion on which one i should get. The reason i dont go intel is im on a tight budget so fx 8350 is the way to go. My budget is max 500$ for the cpu and motherboard altogether. Thanks for the help.

Since you're willing to spend up to $500, can go liquid cooler. Config with liquid cooler:
