my current cpu only fits on am2/AM2+ sockets. I am just trying to hold onto to it as long as possible before replacing everything in a couple of years when i have more money. Current motherboard is crapping out as we speak.

P.S. i dont believe in future-proofing in computer technology, things are changing way to fast, and I am not that hardcore. Whatever is cheap and stable will do
