What exact kind of power supply do you have?

Personally I wouldn't buy a Bulldozer CPU, certainly the 8-core Bulldozers haven't been getting the greatest reviews. If you can get a Phenom II X4 or a Phenom II X6 on an AM3 motherboard, then get one. You can see the X4 975BE is beating the 6100 and the X6 1090T is in a different league here http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-fx-8150--8120-6100-and-4100-performance-review/11 other than that though looks good!

the new chips run cooler and clock better than their predecessors. i think its a ok buy.
