AM3+ Motherboard with DDR4 RAM

[waterjug]

I've looked everywhere and i can't find one. do they just not exist?

AM3+ Cpu's do not support ddr4. If you want ddr4 you have to get a skylake cpu

They don't exist....at all

AM3+ platform came out in 2011 with only support for DDR3 because that's what existed at the time.

DDR4 came out in 2014ish

ddr3 memory will be fine for the next couple of years then... hopefully...

ddr3 and ddr4 are quite similar in performance tbh

k... cause i want this build to last a while with maybe a new gpu down the road

They don't exist,  simply because am3+ is an old platform.  If you're planning on buying into the platform,  i strongly recommend not doing so.

You want it to last? Don't get an AMD CPU then, get something like a G4560 (i3 without some instruction sets) or a Kaby Lake i5.

You want this build to last, but you're going with AM3+?

 

Dude stop right now.  AM3+ is from 2011.  DDR3 still performs just fine, but AMD has a new platform coming out in like a month (technically AM4 is already in the wild), and intel has had more modern platforms available for a while now.

 

If you have to put a machine together right now, and you aren't trying to use some free components you already own, it's hard to make a case for an AMD motherboard/CPU.

 

Otherwise, wait for zen to come out.
