Am3 socket board? Get one with core unlocking and you can downgrade the cpu to a athlon ii x3 455. Those specific cpus are actually phenom ii x4 b50s with the fourth core locked up for market share purposes. At one time they had a 90% stability rate. Should save about $35 that can go to 1600 mhz ram instead
