I'm building a PC pretty soon and I'm looking for some clarification.

In my Amazon cart, I currently have a MSI Socket FM2/AMD A75 inside. After reading some posts and such I came across a post saying that the highest FM2 AMD processor is the A10. I plan to get what is in my budget right now and afterwards I will upgrade to a better processor and I was wondering if I should get a Asus Socket FM2+/AMD A55.

With that brings up the questions. Can FM2 processors be used on FM2+ and is a A75 better than a A55.

Also, if I decide to get a i7 card later and get a cheaper Intel processor now what will be the best Intel motherboard at $70 dollars?
 
Solution
I'd get the A10. When looking at motherboards just make sure it says FM2 and FM2+
Don't know that you can get an intel board for an i7 at that price.

So you're saying that FM2+ can use FM2 processors?
