Asrock 960GC-GS FX (mATX)
which supports am2/am2+/am3 CPUs with ddr2 ram
or
am3/am3+ CPUs with ddr3 ram
The reason im asking is because im currently using a am2 cpu (athlon 54 x2 5000+) and i want to upgrade to either a 8320/8350 or a 6300/6350.Im am being bought a gpu (gtx 750 ti/ r7 265, $150) as a late christmas present. So deciding that my cpu is a big bottleneck for some games, i decided on a am3+ cpu.
I plan to get the motherboard within the month, as im afraid my current one is out of options, being 5 years old and not even able to push for a overclock past 3.5ghz. Ill buy cpu before the end of the summer when i have a summer job as an IT.
If Not can you point me towards a nice mATX 8/9## chipset board for less than $75.
