It depends on how much you are willing to spend. You can find the AMD FX-8350 for around $180. Pair it with any decent motherboard (say MSI, Gigabyte, or Asus) for about $130-$150 and you will not be disappointed. (I prefer to build with Intel.. But if you really want AMD then the FX-8350 is best bang for your buck.)

The processor has nothing to do with the case.. The case can support almost every ATX, mATX, and ITX motherboard so it doesn't matter what processor you get

I'm running a AMD 9160 myself and you can use the fan that comes with the processor its a pretty good fan. Make sure you get a (Version 3 mother board which has all the updates and modifications and bios for all the current processors.

should run with relative ease. the four cores includes hyperthreading but it should still be plenty enough cpu power

"Yes" to both questions. It's AMD's big AM3+ chip so it will almost certainly fit the motherboard. Gaming performance is mostly dependent upon the video card and RAM, not the CPU, so this is as big of a CPU as you would need for any game. It's an excellent choice for a gaming rig.

Your video card will be most important. I had to upgrade from rhatheon 6480. Went to R9 270. You will need at least duo core and 8 gb memory

I use this motherboard in several builds I have done. It is well made and the AMD A8-5600 is an excellent choice that provides a lot of "bang for the buck".

Depends. Does your motherboard support AM3+ Chipset? Are you happy with your processor's performance? If your motherboard supports this chipset, I'd say go for it if you feel like your processor is a bit slow! It's definitely worth the money!

You can use a large variety of motherboards as long as the motherboard fits your case. I would try a z87 Asus motherboard or an Asus maximus IV or V

Yes it will. the processor is a haswell-based chip, so it will work just fine. But if your case doesn't support an ATX sized motherboard, it may not fit.

This is only a case, you have to purchase and install the cpu, memory and hard drive yourself. You would also need to install the OS.

For better experience with this mobo i suggest you an AMD video card due the AMD chipset on the motherboard

depends on the reason you want a faster processor. For intensive games and video editing, more cores and faster processor would help. Otherwise, want you have should be sufficient.

Your processor will be fine with this board, but I'd need more info about your RAM and the power supply you intend to use in the system to give you more information.

This would be like upgrading from an economy car to a Ferrari. This offer a lot more options for tuning, and more compatibility with AMD processors, most all types of DDR3 memory, up to four video cards and one of the best for overclocking. This has been solid and problem free for me. Just make sure it will fit in your case (large motherboard) and you may need new AM3 CPU. And the factory HP power supplies are underpowered. Have fun with your upgrade!

In terms of speed and power this would be a huge difference. The issue is that you will have to purchase an AMD compatible motherboard. Try to get a motherboard with an AM3+ AMD 990FX chipset so you can upgrade to the 8 core CPU such as the FX 9370, or the FX9590. Have fun!

That totally depends on what you plan to do with it. For web / email, it doesn't really matter, anything from a reputable company like ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, etc is fine, base your decisions on A) what processor you intend to use and B) price. For gaming, you need to be more picky, and don't get this graphics card for gaming, spend a little more and get *at least* a 7770 or 7790 (in the AMD lineup since you're looking at an AMD card) if gaming is your thing.

No, you're going to need an AM3 or AM3+ motherboard for that CPU. I would suggest the Asus M5A78L-M/USB3, it has roughly comparable features to this board and is compatible with that CPU.
