I get all my parts today except the CPU, I can be impatient and was wondering whether i could just use my current CPU til i get my new CPU on the new build? I currently have a AMD Phenom II 940 BE. Or should i just wait for my AMD FX8320?

Not all motherboards are compatible with all CPU's. What motherboard do you have?

Not really, you can get motherboards which fit both. For example: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
