AM3+ socket question????

[Dyewitness]

hey guys

I am currently building a system for someone but I am a little confused about AM3 and AM3+. Are these the same sockets?
I have been looking for an air cooler for the following
AMD Bulldozer FX-8 Eight Core 8120 Black Edition 3.10Ghz (Socket AM3+) Processor

Can anyone recommend one, for around 20-30 pounds?

thanks for reply guys

The system isnt for gaming. Its for a music production. So an 8core cpu would be great.
Compared to the i5 system I speced for 500, the AMD seems like it would be better and cheaper.
