My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2P (rev. 3.1). I'm finally deciding to upgrade from my phenom 2 duo core to something with more power. My socket is am3+ but when I go to look at compatible cpu's on the companies sites it gives me the list of supported fx am3+ processors.
AMDFX-8100
AMD FX-6120
AMD FX-6100
AMD FX-4170
AMD FX-4150
AMD FX-4100
Say I wanted to buy the AMD FX 8300 which fits a am3+ socket. Will it work even though it's not on the list for the motherboard? Does this also hold true for other am3+ socket units that may not be on the list?
On a side note I plan to be adding a new graphics card something in the 700 series in nvidia which is compatible with the mother board even though it's pci expressx16 2.0. Since I'm doing these upgrades depending on my question from above, would it be better to just replace the motherboard all together?
Thanks
