buy an am3+ moherboard and buy an fx8350 cpu

think you already have the highest cpu it can take

highest it supports will be an amd 3200+ socket A/462 barton cpu which runs at 2200mhz

yes that motherboard is actually very good for the price and that will work with amds latest cpus. however the intel cpu that you have now will not work with that motherboard or any other amd motherboard, intel cpus only work with intel motherboards. so that means you would have to buy a new amd cpu to work with that motherboard. which is a good desicion because your current setup it quite outdated, you wont go far with that deluxe motherboard you have now its very old so you will need to buy a new motehrboard and processor... i reccomend going the amd route because it has great perormance per cost. that motherboard you linked me the asus m5a78-m is a great choice, so pick a motherboard like that one and get an fx 6300 cpu to go in it. fx 6300's are a great performance per bang. you can play all modern games with it and get great video/photo shop, autocad, rendering and other work shop performance out of it

would this hold a 3GHz CPU? and run a simulator game ok?
