GA-770T-USB3

I currently have an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T(3.2GHz) and want to know what my upgrade options are. I'm confused on AM3, AM3+ or whatever compatibility there is, so I figured I'd just ask.

You could also opt for the Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition. It was the fastest quad core made for the Phenom II line. Faster than than 1100T, but 4 cores instead of 6. Whichever you choose, you will be looking for used CPUs as they haven't been sold new at retail for some time now. As a result, those high-end Phenom IIs demand a premium price.
