Hello
So basically, being very smart guy, I bought new cpu for my computer which is This , AMD Athlon X4 880K 4.2GHz with FM2+ socket, but I just realised that when I bought it already :D.
My motherboard is pretty old, and in my opinion I should upgrade it, but I'm not sure.
So guys, I was just wondering what motherboard should I get not higher than 150euros, and Will it be compalitable with my current specs.

Current motherboard - Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. GA-MA770T-UD3 (Socket M2
Cpu: AMD Athlon X4 880K 4.2GHz with FM2+ socket
Graphics : AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
Storage : 931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EALX-009BA0 ATA Device (SATA)
Ram: 8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 669MHz
If you need any other specs, please tell me.
Thanks :).

It is an easy question, all you need to do is to go to your favorite motherboard brand's web site, from Products tab sleect motherboards, then click on Filter by socket, and finally marking FM2+ as your socket. You can do this on Asus, Gigabyte, MSI web sites.

Then you will see that the best/latest motherboard you can get is based on A88X chipset.

I use a MSI A88X-G41 PC Mate with a A4-6300 APU that is FM2+ scoket. It works with almost anything except new m.2 NVMe drives. I did not have any problems with it, but it only has 2 RAM slots, so I am using 2 x 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM at the moment. So, you can select anything you want from that list, look up the suppliers and purchase what you can find.

But the correct solution would be...

But the correct solution would be selling your new CPU and old configuration and purchasing an Intel 2xx series motherboard with NVMe slot + Intel Pentium G4560 CPU. If you want to hold on to your 8 GB DDR3 RAM, then you can purchase a Z170 motherboard with DDR3 RAM that supports Pentium G4560, but DDR4 RAM + Intel 2xx series motheboard should be preferable.
