Not always. AM2+ was the socket before AM3. AM2+ was designed to run both AM3 and AM2 chips, and thus runs DDR2 RAM since AM2 CPU's had no support for DDR3 (usually).
Source: I have an AMD 965 running DDR2.
Well then I wrongly assumed, as I am running a 965 with DDR3.
Great processor, will go down as one of the best in hisotyr
2 things 1: That power supply is overkill, you can run this on a 600-650 watt just fine 2: for gaming 8 GB will do you well, save the extra money and try to get a better GPU.
