It has an AM3 socket, not AM3+ --- and the 8350 needs too much
electricity.

To confirm; if by 'Phenom 965' you are referring to the "Phenom II X4 965" (which I have in the xen-enabled desktop machine in front of me) then power-wise its similar to the AMD FX 8350 (which I have in the XenServer instance behind me) - both are 125W TDP (unless you have the 140W TDP variant of the 965) If the motherboard supported it, you could even look at a 8320.

But since your motherboard only supports an AM3 chipset, that does really limit your options.
