I have an A8-3870k with a 6670 and I want to upgrade but there's nothing to upgrade on the FM1 motherboard. They made the A10s for FM2 :(

Are AMD making new cpus or anything for the FM1 motherboards or is this it? I'm gonna have to sell my motherboard, cpu, psu, and gpu for my upgrade :(

Yes the FM1 is a dead socket, at least for your mobo anyways. I'm pretty sure that FM2 boards are backwards campatable though. So you could buy a FM2 mobo and use your 3870k and of course your 6670 gpu as well.

Well I'm trying to upgrade my pc without replacing the mobo because that would be a lot of work. So amd doesn't have any plans for the FM1?
