Currently got an A10-5800K and a Radeon R9 280X in my system. Opportunity has befallen me to acquire an Phenom 965BE for free. All I need is a motherboard. If I was to get an AM3+ motherboard, will the 965BE work in that socket (I believe it will from my research).
Also, what motherboard should I get, if I have a budget of around £100 for the motherboard and heatsink?
The 965 is a bit of a stop gap until I could acquire a 8350 in the next few months at some point, but it provides me with the motherboard to be able to use the 8350 if I do this path of changes.
Also any idea if the next generation of AMD cpu's will be AM3+?
Thanks for any help guys
Much appreciated.
My old motherboard and cpu will be put into another case along with the rest of the components I have spare and sold so there is a bit of a profit for me to make here, so it is not just change for the sake of change. I do believe the 965BE will perform better in a lot of tasks than the 5800k too.
