Your stating that you currently have the MSI A55M-E33 motherboard is this correct? That motherboard will take either FM2 or FM2+ Processors. You cannot upgrade a socket on a motherboard.

I checked the MSI website it says it supports A10 cpu's, but it says it has support for Richland/Trinity so not sure on the Kaveri.
CPU (Max Support)
AMD A10/A8/A6/A4-series
New BIOS support Richland / Trinity Ready

Looks to be you can only support the Richland/Trinity Cpu's. Sorry for the long reply haven't been online for a while.
