I am upgrading my Fx-6300 and I would like to get a Ryzen 5 1500X. PcPartPicker is telling me that it is not compatible with my motherboard, which is ASRock 970M Pro3 Micro ATX. I was just wondering if I needed to find a different processor.

You will need new ddr4 ram as well. But New Ryzen 3 will be a solid upgrade for you. Get this combo:

I have enough to buy a new MB and a the Ryzen, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to. My Budget is around $270 for both.
