Hello I'd like to know which motherboard is recommended for this processor ? and what is the main difference between 6800k and 7850k about graphics?

Any FM2 board will do but I suggest a hight end board, I've been using the Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-UP4 since last year and it's great, however, any high end board will work. As to the graphics that's your choice, you may want to read a profesional review from Anandtech.com or Tom's Hardware to understand the differences and make an informed choice depending on the use. Have fun!

Sorry Frank. I'm still waiting for the CPU. I ordered this M/B and the 20th Anniversary Intel CPU. Haven't got the CPU in yet so have not fired up this board.

it's the second generation of AMD Phenom II processors so you may be talking about the third generation but I havent heard of it beforeyou must compare the features of the two processors against the prices and be sure if it's going to be compatible with your motherboard

The 8350 is a solid processor, mine is running at 4.2 gig in an ASRock 960gm-gs3 motherboard (upgrading to a board with the 990 chipset would help you take full advantage of the processor's capabilities) and it runs even single-thread stuff that maxes the 0 core like flight sim x at 93 frames with fairly high graphics settings. If you want to build a system with plenty of overhead for a year or two down the road, and are dead-set on an AMD processor, you might look at the 9590 fx...I'm hearing good things. Cheers.

Ill be honest with you, the processor is great but i still cant find the way to put it into the new Dual Graphics System (Graphics Card +Gpu from APU) but i got 2 r9 270x in crossfire so i dont need it very much.But answering your question about if getting or not an A10 APU ill tell you, go for a FX instead, because if you got a graphics card dedicated you wont need the Apu GPU at all...

I recieved my UD3 May 15th 2012. It was a rev 1.1 with a F4 BIOS. That is the minimum for FX support. All the boards that come out now should be at that or above. I would say buy it. Very nice board. I run a FX-8150 OC'd to 4.2 at 44.8C under load.Good luck and have fun.Just remember: You never finish building your computer...you just run out of money.Update: August 2014: I just bought another for a Livingroom HTPC and it is Rev 4.0 with the latest BIOS for the Rev 4 and it is F2. I plugged in an old FX 8150 and it works great.

I checked the Intel site and it that board does not appear to support that processor check http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/cs-012668.htm

Hi Watch Man, Can you restate your question so it can be answered properly? I have used the seller several times now and they don't sell what will not work as advertised or stated. If your motherboard and memory are designed for this CPU it will work very well indeed. There is only one level of increased performance 4 core Intel "socket 775 chip" and that one costs another $100. I am perfectly happy with this seller and the Intel 9550 CPU! Also since this seller is selling a refurbished chip your cost is about 1/4 of new; add that to the unconditional guarantee and you can't go wrong. I would never have been able to buy the 9550 new for $550! Hi Watch Man, Can you restate your question so it can be answered properly?

Check the Gigabyte web site. The board version and BIOS version together will determine if you can use this board for the processor you are using. The Gigabyte web site will provide the last word on it. My BIOS is F3 and works for everything I do. I have not updated it since I set up my system. Did not need to. Hope this helps.

Check the motherboard page first to see what bios version supports this processor (http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4658) . Water cooling is not necessary but you have to use a top of the line air cooler.

Sorry, I don't know, I need to get a new mother board for mine, and am not sure what one I can use, to upgrade to the fastest Mother Board I can use with the processor. I have looked the charts online only find them confusing.

I can't tell you for certain but is a very solid board. It has been on since I finished building it. Contact ASUSTEK about your processor. They would be your best source of information.

Most, if not all, video cards (aka GPUs) should be compatible with this processor. I'd recommend either a GeForce GTX 960 or GeForce GTX 970, depending on price

MSI 970A-G46. It'a a decent and inexpensive board. I'm using it in the same case as we speak. It has overclocking capabilities as well as Crossfire/SLI compatability at full x8 speed whenever you want to upgrade.

I'd go for one of the R7 or R9 cards if you can. from that 5760 to 6850 you aren't going to see a huge performance difference.

It needs an amd processor that is am3 or am3+. On the processor you are considering purchasing, check out the socket type... if it says am3 or am3+ you are good.
