Solution
defiantly not a good idea, lots of different sockets out there for AMD, lots of different ram speeds which motherboard might not work with and the rest;

Just abide by this and you'll be set to upgrade;

Check your CPU socket;

AMD;
Could be any of these;
AM1, AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2 ect, if you don't know what CPU you have, check it in start/search-system information- then under Processor it'll be there.
-Search that processor and then check the socket, AMD site is preferable but anywhere is fine

Ram speed, if you don't know the speed of that there's an easy way to tell is by donwloading CPU-Z or running NovaBench.

Make sure your PSU has the right pin outputs for the motherboard so changing is as easy as it can be, if it...

Make sure your PSU has the right pin outputs for the motherboard so changing is as easy as it can be, if it doesn't have the right pin connections then you may have to get a new PSU in order to change over the motherboard. You may either have a 4/8 pin connector, check by looking at the power input to the motherboard. the 4 pin is generally fine if you don't OC and have one processor, as 98 pin is generally used for dual CPU motherboards and overclocking motherboards.

Make sure you know your ram type, DDR3/DDR2/DDR, you can check that by using NovaBench or CPU-Z.

You also need to make sure that you have the right PCI-E slot in the motherboard for your GPU, your graphics card may need an X16 slot, which almost all do, so that is a main thing to look out for or to check, which can be done by looking at your GPU software (OC software or Supplier) or Novabench.

Make sure it's the right size!, You need to ake sure that if you have an ATX board you get ATX or other that the case has screw mountings for it. Some cases only support micro ATX or ATX making other sizes like Micro ITX/E-ATX/XL-ATX unable to be used as there either to big or don't have the right mountings and therefore won't sit properly.

That should be about it, hope this helps.
