Recently got an AMD FX-8350 to put in my Asrock pro3 970, though after seeing the state of the CPU socket when I pulled my old CPU out (which was actually in there a hell of a lot tighter then it should be; in the past CPUs have just slid straight out of motherboards once unlocked, this one was still insanely tight after been unlocked) I decided against risking my brand new $200+ CPU. Good choice that was; despite been aligned correctly I bent the pins of my Athlon II x2 270 while attempting to get it back into my motherboard.
Now my question is, what's a recommend MB to go with an FX-8350? Preferably not an Asrock after this experience. Hoping to get something I can slightly overclock it on, though this is not a must.
Edit:
Current hardware:
Power supply: Silverstone Strider Plus 850W ST85F-P
Graphics card: Gigabyte GeForce GT 610 Silent 1GB (I know... I'm upgrading it next)
RAM: G.Skill Ares F3-1866C9D-8GAB 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
CPU: AMD Fx-8350
