Yes, you can use an AM3 adapter in an AM3 socket and it should work. You're also upgrading your HP 6005 PRO.

Yes, that's precisely what it implies.
Zen or Ryzen will arrive in the first quarter of 2017, hold off for now, and it should lead to a slight price reduction.

Many original equipment manufacturer computer motherboards lack overclocking capabilities. Certain AM3 CPUs can function on most AM3 boards after a BIOS upgrade. Before installing a more powerful CPU, update the BIOS of the motherboard to the latest version.

If you receive a black edition, it may not be compatible with the mother-B.

Ensure you have the most recent BIOS installed.
Currently, upgrading to any am3 socket CPU isn't beneficial.
This socket is outdated, offering poor CPU options.
I would consider a last generation I5 and motherboard setup. It should maintain the same RAM configuration as before.

Choose between I5 4460, H mobo or I5 4670k with a Z97 motherboard for installation.

Do you know if there are good CPU socket motherboards available? I haven't heard of a desktop processor socket named NA.
