Hello again thanks for reading.All of you helped me put in my gtx 770 and my power supply, Fallout 4 is coming out soon and i really want to get a new CPU. I currently have a AM3+Fx6300,and want to put in a AM3+ Fx-9590.After doing some research i am almost certain this new cpu is compatible.Just want someone to confirm if possible.

CM1855-US005S Desktop Computer; AMD FX-6300; Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit); 12GB DDR3-1866 RAM; 1TB 7,200RPM Hard Drive; DVDRW Drive; 16-in-1 Memory Card Reader; AMD GTX 770 oc 2gb
 
That system has the 970 chipset, it should support the FX-9590. You will probably need to update your BIOS first though.
 
I imagine you might end up with power delivery issues from the board. A lot of 970 boards struggle with normal fx 8 cores not to mention the 220w tdp 9590

What would be a good Board that would work with everything I got and if possible fit the case
