Upgrading my processor

[Toke Pedersen]

Hi, i want to upgrade my desktop pc's processor from a AMD A4-7300 Socket-FM2, 3.8GHz, Dual Core, 1MB, 65W, 32nm, HD8470D to a better one AMD FX-8350 Black Edition
Socket-AM3+, 4.0GHz, 8-Core, 8MB L2 + 8MB L3 Cache, 125W, 32nm and i want to hear if its posibble to switch them, without having to change the whole motherboard or stuff like that?
Thank u in advance..

Its not.

The A4 7300 is a socket FM2 CPU, as it says in the discription.
The FX8350 is an AM3+ socket CPU.

These 2 sockets are completely different and are not interchangeable.

so if i want to change my current CPU (the A4 7300) i have to find another FM2 socket?

Yes. But would need to know your exact motherboard for that.

AMD A10 6800K is most you can get on FM2, but first check if the mobo is compatible.
