Will this (http://tinyurl.com/mwj6lsc) CPU be compatible with this (http://tinyurl.com/km6r98g) Motherboard? I currently have an HP Slimline s5514y. I have a Asus Radeon HD LP. If that motherboard is compatible I am planning to buy this (http://tinyurl.com/lg6sj99) tower. I know that for the power supply I will need this (http://tinyurl.com/lkusfrv) adapter for the power to the motherboard. I also know that there are two versions of that CPU as shown here (http://tinyurl.com/meup287) but I am fairly certain that I have the correct one. If its not compatible I'm thinking I'll just buy that tower along with probably a combo from Microcenter. Do you have any suggestions or should I just stick with a different processor? Im fine with getting a new motherboard if I need to but I would preferably want to stick with the current. If you do have any suggestions please try to keep it under $200.

The socket type is different. The Mobo is a Am3 socket and the cpu is Am3+. The case as far is i'm concerned is going to fit but consider changing the psu as they aren't good. Consider getting a Bronze certified Power Supply (PSU).

Should I just buy a new motherboard than? Or should I just go with a Phenom X4?
