although on here http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ASRock/870_Extreme3.html when i search for Item model number: HDZ965FBGMBOX it shows up :/

Final is that check your current cpu's socket. If it is of "Socket AM3" then it will work on "ASRock 870 Extreme3" motherboard. This will be the final confirmation.

Your board is a AM3 board which supports all variants of Phenom II/ Athlon II/ Sempron CPU's but it doesn't support AMD FX cpu's as FX requires AM3+ Boards.
