Need help with AMD CPU/Motherboard mess

[CodeguruX]

Okay, I bought this...

ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

and

Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I54670K

Obviously didn't work together because I'm an idiot. Anyway, they have to be returned for replacement only. As for damage control I bought an AMD FX-8120 3.1ghz chip at a local store and a GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard at the same place, as I was putting it together then and didn't want to wait.

With any luck, newegg will allow multiple returned items to be replaced by a single item, another AMD chip. So, anyway, in the interest of making this the biggest bang for my buck, and since I am obviously retarded at the moment, what is the best AMD chip I can fit in that specific GIGABYTE motherboard that I have? I was thinking the FX-9350 4.1ghz, but I'm not really confident on what chip fits which motherboard right now...

EDIT- Or perhaps this one...

AMD FX-9590 4.7GHz Socket AM3+ Eight-Core Desktop Processor - Black Edition

The Mobo says it supports AM3+ as far as I see.

Well, according to Gigabyte, the latest/ fastest chip supported by that board is this one:

Make sure you are running the F9 BIOS if you want to go that way.

Now, that is not a 100% guarantee that the CPUs you are looking at are not supported. I might suggest you send an email to Gigabyte about this.

Update, according to this site, the answer to your question is yes, the 9590 will work on your board:

Ah okay, that's good news. I'll have to get with GB to be sure. The only reason I'm worried is something I saw about 220W chips being too much for some motherboards to handle. It's not exactly a low-end MB, but just because it has decent sli/crossfire support doesn't mean the chipset is going to hold out. Thanks for the info...

EDIT- Ah, nevermind. Just went to their website and it lists the 220W 9590 as being compatible with 3 of their boards, and mine is one of them. I could be anal and call them anyway, who knows, hah.

I had always thought that "return for replacement", meant SAME item. If you know differently, I'd love to hear about it.
