am2+ or am3 cant decide

[liamcrane]

Hi all i have an asus m4a785d-m-pro board and i was thinking of upgrading but im not to sure wheather to stick with an am2+ board or completely upgrade to an am3 board. If i go am3 it will mean i need new ram etc so i am kinda tilting towards am2+ but would really like some help choosing a new one, never used gigabyte before and am really tempted to try.

Hope someone can help

Hi
I would say stick with what you have for the time being.
The new 890fx boards come out next week and would be the logical choice if you ever want to crossfire your 5850 and get the best speed.
Or you could go for one of these

I have the first one out these two with the same as you 955 and a 5850 and it's a nice setup
Hope this helps
