FM2+ socket is not going to get anymore new cpu support. no point of getting a "new" FM2+ mobo

Let me put it this way, you're upgrading some things, what do you wish to get out of that upgrade?
While that build is new to you, we're just trying to let you know that it's a dead platform.
Let us know what you're trying to accomplish, and your full system specs, and maybe we can help you get the most of your system and recommend some things.

With Ryzen possibly as little as two weeks away, you may be able to get quite a nice CPU+MoBo upgrade for 300 UKP in March.
