I have a MSI 970 Gaming, motherboard, and I'm willing to buy a new processor. It says that I need an AM3+ socket but when I looked up what socket I have, it said: AM3, AM3+ so does that mean I have both of them or what? I'm not really good with computers so that's why I'm asking this. So if I buy a new processor, will it fit/work?
