If you need future upgrades try the fm2+ socket. You can get the amd athlon 860k which will be releasing relatively soon with a gigabyte a88x g1.sniper for less money. I've heard rumors that fm2+ will be used until 2016.

Thread URL: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/162939-completed-project-n64-pc-a-kaveri-htpc-inside-a-nintendo-64/
Description: This thing is basically a stock N64 painted up and with a FM2+ PC stuck inside of it. It features all the same features as a regular N64 such as working power and restart buttons, controller ports, and power LED, but with the horse power and versatility of a A10-7850K.
