The PSU should be fine.
CPU support list show you need BIOS F6h for this CPU.

It is better all around, that's the top of the line board for GIGABYTE's 790FX lineup

If you are going to upgrade everything maybe a buldozer ready motherboard instead (AM3+)?
How cheap is the 790FX?

Re: ga-m56s-s3 rev 1.0

Wow, for that he should be able to find a 890X at least, right guys?

Re: ga-m56s-s3 rev 1.0

Much ess but there are no 890X AM3+ yet.
890FXA is 165 USD after mail in rebate on newegg but not revision 3.1 which is AM3+.

But question is what are the OP needs. No point spending money on features that will never be used.
