    vista 64 going to upgrade to windows 8
    750 watt psu

    im looking to upgrade my cpu.i was thinking of getting the fx 8350 8 core 4.0 so ive been on the asus website to check that my board will run it and it says it will with the latest bios.my version is 1701..so i ring up overclockers just to check and he said my motherboard doesnt support the fx 8350 and i should get a phenom..i said i allready own the 955 and want to upgrade..he said there wouldnt be that much difference in performance so it wouldnt be worth the upgrade so now im realy confused on what to do...can anyone please give me some advice,
