Should I Move to Intel?

[OfficialJsP]

So i made a build not that long ago with an AMD FX-8350 and i am needing a new motherboard because i have the Msi 970A-G46 that dose not support 8 core CPU's but then i thought should i move over to Intel. I am not sure if i should do this because i don't have a lot of money at the minute and i saw that the new consoles are now using 8 core CPU's so i think developers will start using multi core technology more and more so i could be shooting myself in the foot if I do move over to Intel also i do things such as live streaming and rendering would i see much of a difference with an Intel Rig?

Flash the new bios to enable support for it.

It is still a terrible board in general for OCing an 8350.

Anything less than a 6+2 phase board is terrible for 8xxx CPUS

 

As you already got it the BIOS fix suggested should help you. You'll be fine in games hitting the 60 FPS mark in most.

4+2 with heatsink I believe, ok for mid overclocking (stay below 1.4v)

Then sit it out my friend AMD CPU's aren't that bad and the bios update posted above should solve your issues.
