The socket has to match whatever socket is on your motherboard

It depends, have you picked up a CPU yet? If not, then it also depends on what you plan on doing with your computer. Heavy gaming, then you want to go with AM3+ and a dedicated GPU. If you're doing casual gaming, you can use FM2 processors that has a built in GPU - they'll handle most games on low to medium settings (depending on your resolution).

HD gaming (if possible with a 6670) and that's basically all I can think of. I was just wondering which was better
