Hello community, Looking at upgrading now for steamroller "future-proofing", and was considering an AMD 970 chipset (socket AM3+) MOBO, as I don't plan on OC'ing or cross-firing or SLIing. Bit limited for options here and the MSI 970A-G46 is a pretty decent price, will stick an athlon II X3 450 CPU in till steamroller ...rolls out. Is there any reason for not getting the 970 chipset, like for instance steamroller will not be on socket AM3+ or only be supported by 990fx or new 1xxx chipset or I should get a higher Phase count (4+1) vs (8+2)? Any help would be appreciated and I'm not totally opposed to switching to Intel's IVB or Haswell.
