Processor And Motherboard

[darkneosphere]

Hi guys, I have recently purchased a new AMD Athlon ll x3 455 3.3ghz processor for my computer. For I am on a budget at the moment, and came to the realization that my motherboard does not support this processor. Are there any reccomendations as to what kind of motherboard I should get? Preferrably under 100 that still has the essential, PCI, PCI-E, etc.

wow extremegamer2da-max......so wrong

DO NOT BUY THAT MOTHERBOARD.

darkneosphere has an AM3 processor. thats an intel 1155 socket board

what RAM (ddr2 or ddr3) & video card (onboard or a card) do you have. we need a little more information

 

[darkneosphere]

I believe its ddr3

 

[HugoStiglitz]

you will need to be sure. as it will mean the difference of buying new ram or not.

do you have a video card already?

is this system for gaming?

 

[darkneosphere]

Yes it's ddr3. It does not have a graphics card yet. It will be turned into one for gaming, eventually when I have the funds.
