Recently went out and bought an FX-8320 Black Edition CPU, I have yet to install it as I would like to upgrade the motherboard first.

My current MOBO is an M5A78L-M LX Plus (Asus).
I also have a custom CPU cooler, it's corsair but thats about the length of my knowledge of it.

CPU cooler looks very similar to this.

At any rate, I would love to upgrade the motherboard, and of course I will get new RAM to go with it, as I am currently only running 8Gigs @ 803MHZ which is quite sad.

I am looking in the 100$ range, which I know won't yield super amazing results, but this is a budget upgrade situation.



Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Why

this is a budget upgrade situation.

^
That would be why.
I don't have hundreds of dollars of disposable income to drop into my computer.
That and there is no need to top-end components, when all I use this PC for is gaming.
I'm not rendering or video editing or anything extremely intensive that would require high-end components.

I would love to go back to intel, and I eventually will. But as of right now it is not in my budget.

At any rate, help would be appreciated, not questions of my choice of processors

I bought a budget pc 2 years ago with this cpu

Again, I am just looking for help for a new motherboard.
Doesn't have to be a micro, full-size is perfectly fine with me.

I am happy to have your responses, however they are not quite what I am looking for.

just add all your parts into

pcpartpicker

it will tell you if they are compatible

Gotcha.
I'll give that a whirl then.

Here, just get this: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/yFjG3C/asus-motherboard-m5a99fxpror20

seems costly for old tech.

maybe just look on craigslist

Craigslist is not a solution, unless there are no other solutions, especially for motherboards.
