HP Pavilion HPE h8-1050z CTO Desktop PC with Windows 7 64-bit
AMD Phenom II X6 1065T six-core processor
8GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM
My PC has a H-RS880-uATX (Aloe) motherboard. I'm interested in upgrading my processor and was looking into the Phenom II X6 1100T. As far as i know i would have no issues in doing so. The problem is that now that the AMD FX series processors have been introduced, it seems retailers are phasing out the Phenoms and those that are left have seen an increase in price that im not very willing to pay. I am now looking into the AMD FX 6100 (six core) processor which, as the 1100T, also runs as 3.3Ghz. What i want to know is if this FX series processor is compatable with my motherboard? From what i have researched, it is. Furthermore, if i wanted even more speed, could the H-RS880-uATX handle any of the 8 core FX processor options? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm looking at a processor upgrade next, and I'm unsure how far i can upgrade this.
These are my current preferences, but faster is always better
