Need a motherboard to fit a Galaxy 3 Mid Tower

[McGlone]

I'm looking for a AM3+ Motherboard to fit into my Galaxy 3 tower but i'm having a little trouble.

After my last upgrade attempt (a water cooler) didn't fit at all, I've decided to be a bit more cautious this time with my purchases.

I'm upgrading from an FM2+ motherboard and an A10-6800k. And thought the next logical step was to upgrade to an AM3+ due to limitations of the FM2+ line.

My budget for the motherboard and CPU is probably £300/£350, so nothing major really. Any suggestions on which mobo/cpu to get or even if you suggest intel or amd etc would be great thank you.

Added a bunch of links if you needed reference

EDIT: I would like a CPU that is at least as powerful as the a10
EDIT 2: this is for a gaming PC

Go intel , it's at great prices and FX series is all done , stay with the current tech.

Would i need the RAM? as i already have 16GB of HyperX Fury.

Also, this is where it confuses me. that Intel's 3.3ghz better than the FX-8350's 4.0ghz?

Yes YOU NEED it because this is the new DDR4, that goes in that board.

so your saying. without it, it wouldn't work?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes it won't work , it's worth it go intel.

is that CPU as good as the FX 8350? and I'm assuming its much better than the a10-6800k.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

It's better than both , no contest.
