Upgrading AMD CPU and MOBO

[WingsDay]

Hello I'm a somewhat knowledged PC enthusiast and I'm thinking of upgrading my aging AMD Phenom II x4 910 2.6ghz with 95W TDP, AM3 Socket CPU to a slightly less aging AMD Phenom II x6 1055T 2.8ghz with 95W TDP and an AM3 Socket as well. Problem is, I have a weird semi-ancient Pegatron M2N68-LA (Narra6) (Revision 6.02) motherboard and I don't know if it'll be compatible but I really hope it is, it doesn't say anything about x6 core CPUs on the driver website so I'm not sure. Also kindof non-topic I'll be replacing the current GTX 8800 768MB GDDR5 to a GTX 750 Ti 2GB GDDR5 and I have a 600w psu from thermal take.

 

Any and all help is appreciated!

jesus dude, you'd be better off just getting a new board and cpu, unless you're getting that cpu for like $100.

not only does it look old, but it looks cheaply made and I doubt the VRM would be able to tolerate a 6 core processor.

Yep I'm grabbing an AM3+ with a fx-6300 cpu
