Hello guys I am a PC noob and don't really have knowledge on cpu and motherboard compability. I am really excited by AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7, but I think my motherboard is a bit lacking So my question is Will I be able to upgrade to Ryzen 7 without having to change my motherboard which is: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. A68HM-K. Thank you guys in advance. Who else is excited for Ryzen 7?
 
Doesnt matter what your current motherbaord is, it is not compatible with Ryzen as it requires a completely new motherboard socket.

Also, you most likely will need new memory as well. Ryzen will use DDR4 while all older AMD motherboards as well as 4th gen and older intel products used DDR3 which is not compatible.
