No, but you can use an AM3 CPU in an AM3+ board.
Looking at your setup, I don't think you should upgrade to BD either as it will not really offer any more than you already have.

Is that the white socket ones? I've got a 890fx board and was told I couldn't but some 890 with black sockets could.
Not like I'd buy BD anyway
