Purchasing new CPU

Hardware CPU
1

I'm looking at swapping my Phenom X4 965 Black for a new AMD 8350. The mobo I'm currently using is an AM3 mobo, so obviously I'm going to need a new AM3+ board.

My question is, given that I'm swapping out my mobo and CPU, is there any drivers and/or software that I should be installing or uninstalling because of the new hardware?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You would want to reinstall windows. That will clean any drivers that might conflict. You would want to get the ethernet drivers first from the mobo's site when you get it. Otherwise none should be need to get the system to boot, Just get the ones off the site when you do get your system running
