What is your current motherboard?

Btw do you have to know the model of the motherboard before you can tell if a processor is compatible to it or can you tell just by the socket?

Have to know the motherboard itself. There is more to it than just socket. Wattage capability and Bios support matter as well. I have never heard of that motherboard manufacturer.

its generic but i think its the same one as this http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3276#ov

i think they just derived it or something

Honestly I bought my amd fx-6300 for 109$. A little above your budget, but its a 6 core processor and has an auto 4.1 ghz turbo on it, runs amazing in games. And its am3+ socket

We have to know for sure the model, or we cannot suggest anything.
