I'm building a "new to me" PC. The board is an Asrock 970M Pro 3. Her is the CPU support list.

I want to get the fastest 8 thread 95W CPU I can for the thing. It looks like that's the Vishera 8310 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...icroprocessors). But looking on eBay that seems to be a harder to come by CPU and a little over $110. The Vishera 8300 is a smidge slower, but more readily available and cheaper at around $75. Which should I choose?
If I go for a 125W CPU like the 8350 or 8370 I will need a new power supply, is the increase in speed worth the $$ in extra hardware?
Also I need a cooler for it, any reccomendation for something affordable. I will not be overclocking.
